How it works
Drop your video in. WavyVid reads its length, resolution, and bitrate right in your browser — nothing uploads anywhere.
It works out the exact bitrate (and resolution, if needed) that lands as close to your target size as possible without wrecking quality.
Download the compressed file, or share it straight from the result screen. Original stays on your device the whole time.
When you'd use this
- You're posting a clip to a non-boosted Discord server and it keeps getting rejected for being too large.
- You're sharing a short screen recording over a messaging app that doesn't automatically compress attachments.
- You just want a safe, universal size that fits almost every basic upload limit without thinking about it.
Frequently asked questions
Is 10MB really Discord's limit?
It's the standard limit for servers without a boost. Boosted servers get higher caps (50MB, 100MB) — if yours does, try the 25MB or 50MB tool instead for better quality.
Does WavyVid add a watermark?
Never. There's no watermark, no branding overlay, and no account required — the output is just your video, smaller.
How long does compressing to 10MB take?
A couple of minutes of footage usually takes under 30 seconds on a modern laptop, since everything runs two encoding passes locally. Longer files take proportionally longer.
Can I pick a different size than 10MB?
Yes — head to the main compress tool to enter any custom target size.
Why does Discord specifically cap uploads this low?
Discord limits attachment size per server tier to control its own storage and bandwidth costs — 10MB is the free-tier baseline that every non-boosted server inherits.
