Compress video to 8 MB free

Free Discord accounts cap uploads at 8 MB (10 MB on newer plans), and many forum and support-ticket systems sit at similar limits. This page targets 8 MB directly, which usually means a shorter clip or 720p; the size is shown before download so nothing bounces.

Exact size target

The encoder works out the bitrate that lands under 8 MB for the clip's length and resolution, so the file fits first time.

Choose what gives

Keep 1080p for a short clip or drop to 720p for a long one; the page shows the expected size before you encode.

Private and unlimited

Compression runs on your device with WebCodecs; a 2 GB source is fine and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How long a video fits in 8 MB?

At 720p and ordinary motion, roughly 1 to 2 minutes with acceptable quality. Longer clips are better trimmed first with the free Trim Video tool.

Will the quality be bad?

Short clips survive well. The limit forces a low bitrate on long clips; reducing resolution to 720p or 540p usually looks better than keeping 1080p at a starved bitrate.

Does it keep the audio?

Yes, at 128 kbps AAC, which is a small part of the budget. Audio is not removed.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The file is processed in your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
