Reduce a video to under 10 MB
10 MB is the limit for Discord free uploads and a common cap on web forms, job portals and corporate email. It's tight: at 10 MB, one minute of video gets roughly 1.3 Mbps after audio. That's fine for 480p–720p, so combining a lower resolution with a trim is the key to a result that still looks good.

Compress to 10 MB →How to do it
- Open the compressor with a 10 MB target (the button below sets it).
- Load your video.
- Trim to the essential part.
- Pick 720p for clips under a minute, 480p for longer.
- Compress and download the MP4.
Tips
- Approximate video bitrate at 10 MB: 30 s ≈ 2.5 Mbps, 60 s ≈ 1.2 Mbps, 3 min ≈ 0.4 Mbps.
- Below ~0.5 Mbps even 480p gets blocky — trim harder instead.
- Talking-head and screen content hold up much better than sports or gameplay.
