Compress Video to 50MB

50MB is Discord Nitro Basic’s upload limit in Discord’s File Attachments FAQ. It is also a practical size for posting from a phone when the app allows more but you do not want to wait. This page enforces 50MB as a hard cap. Discord’s free accounts are at 20MB, not 50MB.

Hit 50MB for Discord Nitro Basic and for phone uploads that should finish quickly.

50MB is Nitro Basic, and a comfortable phone send

Discord’s FAQ lists Nitro Basic at 50MB. Free accounts are 20MB. Nitro is up to 1GB. Use the matching page so the preset and the copy agree.

TikTok, X and Douyin pages also use a 50MB practical preset. That is a convenience target, not a claim that those apps cap files at 50MB.

What fits in 50 MB

Planning estimate from Slimvid’s size formula: 97% of the byte cap, a small audio reserve, then a lower resolution when the video bitrate would look bad. It is not a measured encode of one clip. Motion, codec and audio change the file.
