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

How it works
Drop your video in. WavyVid reads its length, resolution, and bitrate right in your browser — nothing uploads anywhere.
It works out the exact bitrate (and resolution, if needed) that lands as close to your target size as possible without wrecking quality.
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.
