Ten megabytes is the upload ceiling on a free Discord account, and a common one on forums and ticketing systems. For a short clip that is enough for good quality; for a long one it is not, and something has to give. This page tries the quality first, then the resolution, and stops at the best version under the limit.
How long a video fits in 10 MB
At 720p with reasonable quality, roughly 30 to 60 seconds, depending on how much moves.
At 480p, a couple of minutes.
Screen recordings of mostly still windows go much further than camera footage.
If it still will not fit
Trim it first with Trim Video. Halving the length halves the size, which beats any quality setting. Removing the sound also helps a little on very short clips.
Questions
How do I get a video under 10 MB for Discord?
Add it here and press the button. The best MP4 under 10 MB is found automatically, and it plays inline in Discord.
Why not just lower the resolution?
Resolution is the second thing to go, not the first. A 1080p clip at modest quality often looks better than a 480p one at high quality, at the same size.
