Discord and gameplay clip compression

Compress a video to 10MB for Discord without uploading it

Fit a short OBS, ShadowPlay, phone, or screen-recording clip under a 10MB upload cap. Trim first, then use target-size compression so every remaining second gets more quality.

  • A real target-size workflow for strict 10MB caps.
  • Best results come from trimming before compression.
  • The video is processed on your device.

Compress OBS and ShadowPlay clips for Discord

Gameplay recorders often save a few seconds of footage at tens or hundreds of megabytes. A 10MB target can work for a short highlight, but trimming the setup and dead time matters more than pushing the quality slider lower.

Platform limits can change by account, channel, and date. Check the limit shown where you are posting; if it accepts 25MB or more, use that larger target to preserve detail in game text and fast motion.

What fits well under 10MB

Short gameplay highlights, bug reproductions, support clips, memes, and low-motion screen recordings are the best candidates. Long phone videos and high-motion 60 fps footage usually need trimming or downscaling before they can look acceptable at 10MB.

If the audio is not useful, removing it gives the video stream more of the size budget. If the clip still looks rough, shorten it or choose a larger destination limit instead of repeatedly recompressing the same output.

Private video handling

Videos often include faces, homes, screens, voices, and client context. AntiUpload compresses locally so the footage is not uploaded to a conversion server.

Questions

How do I compress an OBS or ShadowPlay clip for Discord?
Trim the recording to the exact highlight, open the video compressor, choose target-size mode, and enter 10MB. Download and play the result before posting. If your Discord destination accepts a larger file, use that larger limit for better quality.
Is Discord always limited to 10MB?
No. Upload limits can change and may vary by account, server, channel, or subscription. This page treats 10MB as a commonly searched target; use the current limit shown in Discord when you post.
Can any video fit under 10MB?
Many can, but quality may suffer. Short clips and lower-motion videos are the best fit.
Should I mute audio?
If audio is not needed, muting can save space and improve visual quality at the same target size.
Does the video upload?
No. Compression runs in your browser.
