Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Discord file size limit?
20 MB per file for free accounts since August 2026, 50 MB with Nitro Basic and 500 MB with Nitro.
Why 19 MB and not 20?
Discord applies the limit strictly, and an MB can be counted in two ways. Aiming a little lower makes sure the file goes through the first time.
How long a clip fits in 19 MB?
About 45 seconds at 1080p and a minute and a half at 720p. The tool lowers the resolution when a clip is longer.
Which formats work?
MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV, including recordings from OBS, Xbox Game Bar and phones. The result is an MP4 that Discord plays in the chat.
