What is the Best Video Compressor for Discord?

If you are using Discord and trying to share a large video file, it will give you the following message.

“Your Files are Too Powerful” will pop up with small text that reads, “Max file size is 8.00 MB please”.

A quick and easy way around this is to use a video compressor that reduces the video size.

There are many online websites that offers the service for free.

I have run into this problem and started testing services to see which ones worked the best.

There is also software you can load on your computer to shrink a video, but for quick, free, and easy, a website service works very well.

Below are the websites I have found and use. If you have a good site that reduces video size, let us know in the comments below

3 of the Best Video Compressors for Discord

1. 8mb.video

   
   
   8mb.video has a quick and easy to use interface that automatically reduces a video to under 8MB.
   
   They give options for different reduction sizes including 8MB, 50MB, and 100MB.

   The service also has sound options such as remove audio.

   I tested it with a 233MB video and it reduced the size easily and quickly.

   The video quality was very good with no noticeable difference.

2. VEED.IO

   
   Veed.io has a free video compressor that I have used several times and works very well.

   The interface is easy to use with uploading a video file and choosing how compressed it should be.

   The compression ratio is a nice feature with adjustments to go high or lower along with showing the video size for that ratio.

   The lower the ratio the smaller the video size.
