Compress video for Discord

Targets Discord's standard 10MB upload cap so your clip posts without Discord rejecting it.

Drop a video to compress to 10MB

Processed on your device — never on a server.

How it works

1

Drop your video in. WavyVid reads its length, resolution, and bitrate right in your browser — nothing uploads anywhere.

2

It works out the exact bitrate (and resolution, if needed) that lands as close to your target size as possible without wrecking quality.

3

Download the compressed file, or share it straight from the result screen. Original stays on your device the whole time.

When you'd use this

  • You captured a gaming highlight or funny moment and Discord won't let it upload at its original size.
  • You're sharing a reaction video or short tutorial in a server that hasn't been boosted past the base tier.
  • You want one tool tuned specifically to Discord's limit instead of guessing at export settings yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Discord reject my video?

Discord enforces a hard upload size limit per server tier — 10MB by default. Anything over that either fails to upload or gets rejected outright.

My server is boosted — do I still need 10MB?

No — boosted servers get 50MB or 100MB caps. Use the 50MB compressor instead for noticeably better quality.

Will the compressed clip still look okay in a Discord embed?

Yes, Discord's inline video preview isn't especially demanding — a well-compressed 10MB clip usually looks clean at the sizes Discord displays it.

Does this work for game clips from Xbox/PlayStation share features?

Yes, as long as the exported file is a standard video format like MP4 — which console share features typically produce.

Can I compress an animated GIF-style clip for Discord instead?

For short, silent loops, converting to GIF or a muted MP4 usually gives a smaller file than compressing a full video with audio — try the video-to-GIF tool if your clip doesn't need sound.
