Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Discord reject videos larger than 8MB or 10MB?
Discord enforces a strict upload ceiling for free users to manage server bandwidth. ClipShrink's video compressor for Discord targets ~7.2MB to guarantee successful uploads across all desktop and mobile Discord apps.
Can I use this tool as a GIF compressor for Discord?
Yes! Heavy animated GIFs often exceed Discord's 8MB limit. You can drop animated GIFs or short video loops into ClipShrink to reduce their file size safely below 8MB.
What is the best video compressor for Discord gaming clips?
For fast-paced gameplay clips (Valorant, Fortnite, Call of Duty), 30 to 60 seconds at 720p 30fps compress with great visual clarity. For talking-head or screen recordings, clips up to 2–3 minutes fit cleanly under 8MB.
Can I compress iPhone .MOV gaming clips to send on Discord?
Yes. ClipShrink converts Apple QuickTime MOV and HEVC container files into Discord-safe H.264 MP4 format with web-optimized faststart headers.
