Target size

🔒 Files never leave your device — everything runs in your browser.

Discord checks upload size to the byte: 10 MB for free accounts, 50 MB with Nitro Basic, 500 MB with Nitro. There is no grace margin — a 10.1 MB clip fails with the same error as a 1 GB movie, which is why "file too powerful" jokes exist. Pick your tier below and the compressor takes care of the rest.

Because everything runs on your own device, there is no upload to a compressor site before the upload to Discord — your gameplay clip or meme goes straight from your disk to fitting the cap. Audio is kept whenever the budget allows, and for tight fits the tool prefers lowering resolution over turning your clip into a smear.

    Use the presets above — this page's defaults are tuned for compress video for discord — or type any size.

  3. Download

    Your converted file is ready on your device — nothing to wait for, nothing to delete from a server.

Frequently asked questions

What is Discord's upload limit right now?

10 MB for free accounts, 50 MB with Nitro Basic, and 500 MB with full Nitro. The limit follows the uploader's subscription — server members without Nitro stay at 10 MB regardless of the server.

Why does my clip fail at exactly 10 MB?

Because operating systems and Discord round file sizes differently — a file your OS calls 10.0 MB can be 10,06 MB to Discord's checker. ConvertUno always lands safely under the cap, so the check passes.

What about a whole gameplay session, not a clip?

For anything long, compress to the 500 MB Nitro preset if you have Nitro, or trim the highlight first — a tight one-minute clip at 10 MB almost always looks better than ten minutes crushed into the same budget.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. ConvertUno runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone — there is no upload at all.

Is it really free, with no watermark?

Yes. Processing happens on your device, so serving you costs us almost nothing — no watermark, no account, no file-size limit, no daily quota.
