# Compress video for Discord (under 25MB) online

Shrink a video to fit the Discord upload limit in your browser, no Nitro required. Your video never leaves your device.

1

Upload your video

3

Download the smaller file

Save a video that uploads to Discord without Nitro.

## Questions & answers

### What is the Discord upload limit without Nitro?

Free uploads are capped at 25MB. Set a 25 MB target and the compressor fits the file under it.

### Does my clip get uploaded to a server first?

No. Compression runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and nothing is stored.

### How do I keep it looking sharp under the limit?

Trim to the part you actually need first, then compress. Less footage means more bitrate per second at the same size.

### Want a specific size like 10MB?

Enter any target in the [video compressor](/tools/compress-video-online).

## Stop editing one clip at a time.

OpenClip finds your best moments, reframes them face-aware for every platform, writes the captions, and posts them. One upload, a week of content.
