Make any video fit under 10MB

10MB is tight, but doable. We compute a safe bitrate for your duration and use two-pass H.264. For long clips, enable downscale and/or reduce frame rate.

How many minutes fit in 10 MB?

~10-25s at 720p is realistic; longer clips need 480p/360p.

Best codec for Discord?

H.264 for reliability; AV1/HEVC can be smaller but may preview inconsistently on older devices.

FAQ

Will this reduce quality?

A bit. Shrinking to 10MB requires bitrate tradeoffs, but two-pass encoding + downscaling keeps it watchable in chats.

Which formats can I upload?

MP4, MOV, MKV, and WEBM. Output is MP4 (H.264 + AAC) for compatibility.

Can I set 8MB instead?

Yes-use the 8MB preset above if your server/bot enforces stricter limits. Discord's platform-wide free cap is 10MB, but some communities restrict uploads further.
