ClipCutHow to Compress a Video for Discord and WhatsApp
File too big? Here are the upload limits for Discord, WhatsApp and email in 2026 and how to get any video under them for free.
The limits
Discord free servers commonly cap uploads near 10 MB, WhatsApp around 16 MB for video on many devices, and email around 25 MB. Limits change, so check the app if you are close.
Compress, then trim
The fastest win is to cut the video shorter first, then compress to 720p. Shorter and smaller compounds.
