Struggling to upload and share a video due to a platform's file size limitations? Descript offers fast, online video compression with multiple ways to overcome the strictest file size requirements like Discord’s 8MB limit—even for large videos over 8GB.
Import the video you want to compress into a project in Descript. AVI, MP4, MPEG, MOV, OGV, WMV, WEBM, and Apple HDR are all supported file types.
Publish your video and pick the best export option based on your size, type, and quality requirements. Export your video as several smaller files to upload individually, convert it to an MP4 (the most efficient file type for video), lower the resolution, or create a shareable web link to watch or download.
Upload your compressed file to Discord, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or whatever platform you want to share it on. Still too large? Bypass upload limits entirely by sharing the Descript page that hosts your video, complete with an embedded video player and download button.

Export a lower resolution MP4 of your video for a file that’s less than half the size of the original. Go all the way down to 480p without sacrificing more quality than you need to.
Descript generates a transcript for your video that makes it easy to cut the fluff and slash your video’s duration to compress the file. You can even batch export your video in multiple parts by separating it into multiple compositions then uploading the smaller files one at a time.
If your file is still too large, you can publish your video as a Descript page and share the link where anyone can watch it online with an embedded player or download the original file at full quality without any compromise. This is the most convenient way to share video files on platforms like Discord where directly uploading your video may not be an option.
Descript can compress videos by converting the file to a lower resolution or to a more efficient file type like MP4. It also offers tools to reduce the total duration of video files, reducing the file size in turn. You can even publish your videos on Descript pages with download links and an embedded video player to share videos as a web link that bypasses the upload limit entirely.
Discord has an 8MB upload limit for sharing videos and supports MP4, WEBM, and MOV files.
TikTok allows you to upload videos up to 3 minutes long and supports MP4 and MOV files. File size upload limits vary by device, allowing 287.76MB for Apple and 72MB for Android.
