Frequently asked questions
What is Discord's video size limit?
The current documented free limit is 20 MB. Discord checks the file before its own compression, so first make your attachment smaller than the limit shown in your account.
How do I get a video below Discord's upload limit?
Start with this page's 19 MB target. If your account shows a different cap, enter a target slightly below it. For a long clip, try 480p or trim it before compression. Check the downloaded file size before sending.
Does SqueezeVid upload my video to compress it?
Video bytes stay on your device in this browser tool. SqueezeVid receives usage metadata to manage allowances and failures. Optional cloud processing is a separate route that requires an upload.
Will the video lose quality?
A smaller target gives each second fewer bits. Short clips can stay clear at 720p; long or fast-moving videos may need trimming or a lower resolution. Compare the preview before sharing.
