Bigger files take longer — your CPU does the work, privately.
Why 8 MB?
The 8 MB target is the classic Discord free-upload limit and a common cap on older forums and chat tools. Even though free Discord now allows 10 MB, many guides, servers and platforms still expect 8 MB, so it’s the safe universal target for a small clip.
The compressor calculates the exact bitrate to land under 8 MB from your clip’s length — short clips keep good quality, while longer ones benefit from trimming first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a video to 8 MB?
Drop your video, keep the 8 MB preset selected, and download the result. The tool targets just under 8 MB so it uploads reliably.
Can I hit an exact size like 8 MB?
Yes — the compressor sets the bitrate from your clip length to land under the target, with a small safety margin so it never goes over.
My clip looks soft at 8 MB — why?
Eight megabytes is very little for a long or high-motion video. Trim to the key moment, or use a larger target (10 MB / 16 MB) if your destination allows.
Is anything uploaded?
No — it all runs in your browser. Your video stays on your device.
