Why Discord Rejects Your Videos
Discord's infamous "Your file is too powerful" error usually means one thing: your video file size exceeds your account's upload limit.
For most users on the Free Tier, this limit is strict at 25MB. Even if your video is just 25.1MB, it will be rejected.
- Bitrate is the culprit: High bitrate makes files huge. Lowering it slightly saves space.
- Resolution overkill: You don't need 4K for a meme or gameplay clip embedded in chat.
- Audio bloat: Uncompressed audio tracks can eat up MBs unnecessarily.
Our tool intelligently balances these factors to give you the highest quality video that still fits perfectly inside the 25MB box.
Best Settings for Discord Quality
To get the crispest video on Discord without Nitro, follow these rules:
Use the WebM Format
WebM often provides better quality-per-byte than MP4, making it perfect for squeezing good looking clips into small limits.
Target 720p Resolution
On a phone or desktop chat window, 720p looks almost identical to 1080p but uses half the data.
Pre-Compress Before Upload
If you upload a huge file, Discord crushes it. If you upload a proper sized file, Discord touches it less.
