Discord raised the free upload limit from 10 MB to 20 MB on 13 August 2026, reversing the cut it made in September 2024. Most compressor sites still tell you the old 10 MB figure, so you may be squeezing your video far smaller than you actually need to.

Discord now measures file size before its own compression on mobile, matching how the desktop app already worked. In practice that makes uploads more predictable, but Android users starting from larger source files still hit the ceiling sooner.

Questions about Discord

The short answers people ask for most.

What is Discord's video size limit?

Free: 20 MB. Nitro Basic: 50 MB. Nitro: 500 MB. Checked 2026-08-18.

How do I get a video under 20 MB?

Drop it above — the 20 MB target is already selected. Papayacut works out the bitrate your clip's length allows, encodes, then checks the result and tries again if it came out over.

Do my videos get uploaded?

No. Compression runs inside your browser with WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored or kept after you download.

Will it look bad?

Short clips usually survive well. Longer ones have to spread the same budget over more seconds, so the picture softens — dropping the resolution keeps it sharp rather than blocky. Trimming first is the single best way to protect quality.

Do I need an account?

No account, no email, no card, and no watermark on the result.
