About compressing video for Discord
Discord caps the size of videos you can share, so a longer or higher-quality clip often won’t send. Compressing lowers the bitrate — the data used per second — until the file fits under Discord’s 10 MB limit, trading a little visual detail for a much smaller file.
Everything runs in your browser with the built-in recorder — there’s no ffmpeg and nothing is uploaded, so even private clips stay on your device. Processing takes about the length of the clip, sometimes with a second pass to hit the target. A very long video may not reach 10 MB without becoming blurry; you’re told the size it actually reached.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the video size limit for Discord?
This page targets Discord’s 10 MB limit. FileTinker compresses your video to land at or under 10 MB so it’ll send.
Will the video still look okay?
Compression trades some detail for size. Short clips usually still look fine at 10 MB; very long videos squeezed under 10 MB can look softer. You can preview before downloading.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser, so your video never leaves your device.
How long does it take?
About as long as the clip itself, because it’s re-recorded in real time. Hitting an exact target may add a second pass.
