Compress to a number, not to luck
The usual story: Discord says "max 8 MB", your clip is 47 MB, and every online compressor either uploads your video to a server (slow, private, limited) or makes you guess bitrates like a video engineer. This tool flips it: you pick the size that has to fit, it reads your video's duration and computes the exact bitrate to land under the limit โ one click, done.
Compression runs on the real FFmpeg engine inside your browser. Honest physics: squeezing a long video into a small target costs visible quality โ for a minute-long clip into 8 MB expect visible softness. For typical 10โ40 second clips the presets produce great results.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
Roughly real-time or faster on a typical laptop โ a 30-second clip compresses in well under a minute. Your CPU does the work, so no upload/download time at all.
Will it always fit under the limit?
The bitrate targets ~93% of the limit to leave headroom, so yes in practice. Extremely long videos into tiny limits may bottom out at minimum quality.
What happens to the audio?
Audio is re-encoded to efficient 96 kbps AAC โ transparent for speech and fine for most clips.
