Set the ceiling and get a file that comes in under it. Safe: we never host your videos or your files.

20 MB is Discord's free upload limit as of 13 August 2026, and a common ceiling for CMS and web-form uploads.
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.
The short answers people ask for most.
Drop the file above with 20 MB already selected. Papayacut divides the size budget across the clip's length to pick a bitrate, encodes, then measures the result and re-encodes once if it landed over.
Roughly: about 66 seconds at 2.5 Mbps (crisp 1080p), or around 205 seconds at 800 kbps (watchable 480p). Past that, trim the clip rather than crushing the bitrate.
No. Compression runs inside your browser with WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored or kept after you download.
Papayacut checks the finished file. If it is above 20 MB it lowers the bitrate by the measured overshoot and encodes once more, so what you download actually fits.
No account, no email, no card, and no watermark on the result.
