Compress video to 10MB
10MB is one of the most-requested targets: free Discord users, plenty of forums and upload forms stop there. Like any fixed-size compression, whether it fits 10MB depends mostly on length — short stays sharp, long goes soft. The tool above is preset to 10MB; if you're posting to Discord, see the "compress video for Discord" page.
Quick answer
To compress to 10MB, ConvertMeow derives a bitrate from target size ÷ duration, then re-encodes. 10MB is free Discord's upload cap and a common threshold on forums and upload forms. It all runs locally in your browser — never uploaded, no watermark — and tens-of-seconds clips usually fit first try.
Compress your video to 10MB
Target size
Derives a bitrate from target size ÷ duration and re-encodes; best for short clips.
How long and sharp can 10MB be?
10MB is a bit roomier than 8MB. A 30-second-to-a-minute highlight at 10MB is usually sharp; one to two minutes is watchable; a multi-minute clip at 10MB looks clearly soft.
For 10MB and sharp, trim to the key segment first, then compress — spend the bitrate on the footage that matters.
- ≤30 seconds: sharp at 10MB.
- ~1–2 minutes: acceptable at 10MB.
- Several minutes: soft at 10MB — trim first.
Where is 10MB mostly used?
The classic case is free Discord (per-file cap about 10MB); plenty of forums, internal systems and upload forms also cap video attachments around 10MB. Staying under 10MB covers most of these.
Frequently asked questions
It gets close. ConvertMeow derives a bitrate from target size ÷ duration and re-encodes — short clips usually land comfortably under 10MB; very long videos may come out slightly over or under, and it shows the real output size.
10MB is exactly free Discord's per-file upload cap, but it also fits other forums and forms that stop at 10MB. If you're posting specifically to Discord, see the "compress video for Discord" page.
No. Compression runs entirely locally in your browser with ffmpeg — never uploaded, no watermark, no cap.
