Compress a video for Discord (under 10 MB)
Without Nitro, Discord only takes files up to 10 MB. Tell S Converter the limit and it works out the right quality from the clip’s length, so it fits on the first try.
How to do it with S Converter
- Open S Converter, choose Video and drag in your clip.
- On the right, switch Quality to Max size and pick 10 MB (or 8 MB to be safe, or 50 MB with Nitro Basic).
- Press Convert.
- Drag the new MP4, saved next to the original, into Discord.
Or straight from File Explorer
- Select the video and press Ctrl + Alt + C to open the Quick Convert wheel.
- Save a Discord preset once (Max size 10 MB, MP4) and it’s one click from then on.
The shortcut works while S Converter is running (it waits in the system tray). In the version from GitHub you can also right-click files and choose S Converter; on Windows 11 it's under Show more options.
Why S Converter
Fits first time
If a clip lands slightly over, S Converter tries again a little smaller.
Stays watchable
Long clips drop to 720p or 480p instead of turning into blocks.
No watermark, no upload
Unlike online compressors, nothing leaves your PC and nothing is stamped on your video.
Questions
How long a video fits in 10 MB?
Roughly 30 to 60 seconds looks good. Longer clips still fit, at lower quality; trim the part you want to share first.
Does Discord compress videos itself?
Discord doesn’t shrink uploads for you; files over your limit are simply refused.
Can I trim it at the same time?
Yes. Press Trim before converting and only the part you keep counts toward the size.
