How do I compress a video to fit Discord's 10MB upload limit?

Open fqfit, drop your video, click the 10MB preset, optionally pick 720p or 480p for better quality at that size, and press 'Compress and save'. fqfit calculates the bitrate needed to fit your video's duration into 10MB and re-encodes it with H.264 + AAC. A retry loop adjusts the bitrate if the first pass overshoots, guaranteeing the output stays at or below the target size.

What are the current Discord upload limits in 2026?

Discord's free tier allows uploads up to 10 MB. Nitro Basic raises that to 50 MB. A server with Boost Level 3 raises it to 100 MB for everyone in the server. Nitro raises it to 500 MB for the Nitro user. fqfit has one-click presets for all four, plus a custom MB input for any other limit.

Can I use fqfit to compress videos for Gmail, Slack, Reddit, or other platforms?

Yes. fqfit is a general size-targeting compressor. Type any custom MB value (25 for Gmail attachments, 1024 for Slack free workspaces, 100 for Reddit, etc.) and fqfit fits the encode to that limit. Discord is just the most common preset because it has well-known tiers.

Are my videos uploaded to a server?

No. All compression happens in your browser using FFmpeg.wasm and the WebCodecs API. The file never leaves your machine — fqfit doesn't even have a backend. The only network traffic is loading the static page assets and the FFmpeg WASM binary, both delivered as static files.

Can fqfit compress AV1 video from NVIDIA App or OBS?

Yes. AV1 sources are auto-detected and routed through your browser's native AV1 decoder (Chrome and Edge ship libdav1d), then re-encoded to H.264 for maximum compatibility with Discord, social media, and email clients. AV1 to H.264 conversion happens entirely client-side.

Does fqfit handle large files (1GB, 8GB, etc.)?

Yes, with caveats. fqfit reads only the moov box and the byte ranges of your trim window — it does not buffer the whole file in memory. A 30-second trim from an 8GB source loads only the data those 30 seconds occupy. Browser memory is still finite, so very long uncut clips may struggle; trim first, compress second is the recommended workflow.

Will the output look good at small target sizes?

fqfit shows a per-resolution 'good quality' duration ceiling so you can see what fits before encoding. For very small targets (10MB) on long clips, downscaling to 720p or 480p dramatically improves quality at the same target size. Each resolution preset shows its own ceiling, and clicking a preset auto-snaps your trim to that ceiling.

Can fqfit trim and compress in one pass?

Yes. The waveform timeline lets you set IN and OUT points before encoding. The single 'Compress and save' button performs the trim and compression in one operation, then auto-downloads the result. Drag the highlighted region to slide the whole trim window without changing its duration.

Is fqfit free? Does it have ads or signup?

Yes, completely free. No ads, no signup, no upload, no server-side processing. fqfit is a static site that runs entirely in your browser.

What video formats does fqfit support?

fqfit reads any container the browser can probe — MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI — and any codec the browser can decode (H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9). Output is always H.264 + AAC in MP4 for maximum compatibility.

Why is fqfit better than online video compressor websites?

Most online video compressors require uploading your file to their server, which is slow on large files, exposes your private content to a third party, and is rate-limited or paywalled. fqfit runs the encoder in your browser using your CPU and GPU, so there is no upload latency, no privacy concern, no rate limit, and no fee. The result is the same H.264 + AAC MP4 with hardware-accelerated encode.

fqfit — Discord video compressor and universal MB-fit, in your browser

fqfit is a free, in-browser video compressor and trimmer. Drop any video file, pick a target size in megabytes, optionally trim the part you want with a frame-accurate waveform timeline, and download a re-encoded file guaranteed to fit under that limit.

Built for Discord clips first

10 MB — Discord free tier
50 MB — Discord Nitro Basic
100 MB — Discord server with Boost Level 3
500 MB — Discord Nitro

Each tier is a one-click preset. Drop a CS2 clip, Valorant highlight, OBS recording, NVIDIA App / Shadowplay capture, or any other video, click the matching tier, and fqfit fits the encode to that exact limit.

Universal size-fit for any platform

fqfit isn't only for Discord. Type a custom MB value to fit other platforms' upload caps:

Gmail attachments — 25 MB
Slack free workspace — 1 GB per file
Reddit video uploads — usually under 100 MB
Imgur video uploads — 200 MB
Telegram regular — 2 GB
Forum upload caps, email service limits, file-share caps — any custom MB target works

Trim before you compress

The waveform timeline shows audio peaks for the whole clip. Drag the IN and OUT handles to pick the moment, drag the highlighted region to slide the trim window without changing its duration, or click a resolution preset (1080p / 720p / 480p) to auto-snap the trim length to the maximum that fits at good quality for your chosen target size.

Hardware-accelerated, AV1-aware

fqfit uses the WebCodecs API to encode H.264 with your GPU (NVENC, QuickSync, VCE) when available — orders of magnitude faster than software encoders for high-resolution sources. AV1 captures from NVIDIA App and OBS are auto-detected and decoded via the browser's native AV1 decoder (libdav1d in Chrome and Edge), then re-encoded to H.264 for maximum compatibility.

100% private, 100% in your browser

Everything runs locally via FFmpeg.wasm and WebCodecs. Your video never uploads anywhere — fqfit doesn't even have a backend. The only network traffic is the initial page load and the FFmpeg WASM binary (cached after first use). No signup, no ads, no rate limits, no fees.

Companion to fqvid

fqfit is a sibling to fqvid, the in-browser trimmer + batch YouTube uploader. Trim first with fqvid for a polished cut, then compress with fqfit to fit any platform's size limit.
