What is Discord's free video upload limit?

Discord's free file upload limit is 10 MB (previously 8 MB, then 25 MB, now standard at 10 MB for free users).

How do I fit a 60-second clip under 10MB?

To fit a 60-second clip under 10 MB, calculate target video bitrate: (10 MB × 8,192 kb / 60s) - 128 kbps audio ≈ 1,237 kbps. Render at 720p @ 60 FPS or 1080p @ 30 FPS for optimal clarity.

How do I calculate video bitrates to fit gameplay clips under Discord upload limits?

Direct Answer: Calculate maximum video bitrate by multiplying target megabytes by 8,192 kilobits, dividing by clip duration in seconds, and subtracting audio bitrate: Video Bitrate (kbps) = ((Target MB × 8192 × 0.95) / Duration in Seconds) - Audio Bitrate.

In-Browser Execution: Calculated instantly inside your browser using client-side JavaScript with zero latency, downloads, or telemetry tracking.

How to Use the Gaming Clip Compressor

Select your target upload platform (e.g. Discord 10MB).
Enter the clip duration in seconds or drop your video file to auto-detect length.
Review the optimal bitrate and resolution settings.

Pro Tips & Best Practices

Always use a 5% safety margin to ensure container metadata overhead does not push your file over Discord's strict limit.
For fast-paced shooters like CS2 or Apex, 720p at 60 FPS looks significantly smoother than 1080p at 30 FPS under low bitrates.
