Compress Videos for Discord Free
Discord blocks the upload when a video is too big. Compress it in your browser for free and post the smaller file to your channel, with no software to install.

Guessing at export settings until something finally fits takes longer than the upload itself. Flixier’s video compressor handles the sizing for you, so the video comes back small enough to post on the first go instead of the third.
Send Screen Recordings
OBS and most game capture tools record at settings meant for editing rather than sharing, which is why those files rarely go straight into Discord. Compress the video once, and it drops into the channel without an error, with the action still clear.
Post From Your Phone
Video shot on a phone is often too big to send as it is, and moving it to a computer just to shrink it defeats the point of recording on the go. Open Flixier in a mobile browser, compress the video there, and post it from the same device.
Skip the Upload Wait
Your video never leaves your device. Our compressor handles the file locally in your browser instead of sending it to a cloud server, meaning you skip the long upload times and your data connection speed stops mattering entirely.

Who This Is For
Marketers
Post the same teaser across several servers and partner channels without a separate upload wait each time. A compressed file makes it a copy-and-paste job, and the video looks identical wherever it lands.

What video formats can I compress for Discord?
MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM all go straight into the compressor with no conversion step first, which covers phone video, camera files, and screen recording software. There are dedicated pages for the MP4 compressor, MOV compressor, MKV compressor, and WebM compressor if you would rather start from your own format.
What is Discord's video file size limit?
Discord sets that, not Flixier, and the figure has changed more than once. Free accounts currently sit at 10MB per file, with higher ceilings on paid plans and boosted servers. Discord’s own help center carries the current numbers, so check there before you plan around a figure.
How do I send a video over 10MB on Discord?
There are three ways: upgrade your Discord plan, upload the file somewhere else and paste the link, or compress the video so it fits. Compressing is the only one of the three that keeps the video inside Discord.
Can I compress video for Discord without losing quality?
Not entirely. Compression works by lowering bitrate and sometimes resolution, so some detail goes. On a gameplay video, you are most likely to notice it during fast motion, and far less on a talking head or a screen recording. In a chat window, it holds up well.
Is the Discord video compressor free?
Yes. You don’t need an account or a paid plan to use it. Compress the clip, download it, and post it to your channel. Then, if you want, go to the full Flixier app to edit compressed videos, though the export limits on your plan apply there.
