Which codec should I pick?

H.264 is most compatible across apps; HEVC/AV1 can be smaller but may preview inconsistently on older devices.

Compress video to 8MB

Roughly 8-18 seconds at 720p. For longer clips, use 480p/360p or 24-30 fps.

For strict Discord channels and tight DMs. Use 8MB when 10MB fails or bots reject larger files.

Prefer a preset on the main tool? Open the all-in-one compressor preset to 8MB.

~8-18s at 720p is typical; longer clips should try 480p/360p or 24 fps.

Two-pass H.264, ~64-96 kbps audio, and a resolution cap (720→480p) for clips over ~20s.
