Discord Says "Your Files Are Too Powerful" — Here's the Fix
Discord limits free uploads to 10 MB. Learn how to compress video for Discord without losing quality. Works with any video format.
Why is my video too big for Discord?
A 15-second clip from your iPhone is already 30-50 MB. Discord free accounts cap uploads at 10 MB. Your options used to be: pay for Nitro, use a sketchy web compressor, or just... not share the clip. Squash gives you a better option.
What are the requirements?
How do I fix this?
Drop your video into Squash and select the Discord destination. Squash targets the free 10 MB upload cap automatically using quality-aware H.264 compression. Need a larger file for Nitro? Use the Nitro destinations instead. Your video stays on your computer — nothing uploaded to a third party.
Discord compression is included in the free version. Squash Pro ($29) removes the 60-second limit and branded end card.
