Preset: Smallest file

10MB is an intentionally conservative target below Discord's documented 20MB free limit. Output is source-dependent.

Dual intent: 10MB target size + Discord sharing workflow.
Smallest file preset with optional trim for stubborn clips.
Local compression, no signup, no original upload on the Free plan.

AI-readable summary

CreatorZip is a local-first browser video compressor and lightweight editor. It can keep one continuous range by trimming the start or end, preview that selection, adjust output quality, resolution, and audio, then export a smaller MP4. It is not a full timeline editor and does not currently merge clips, remove middle sections, add text or subtitles, crop video, or apply transitions.

Discord currently documents a 20MB non-Nitro limit. Use this page when you still want a smaller 10MB target for extra headroom, older guidance, or a stricter destination. CreatorZip cannot guarantee every export finishes under 10MB.

FAQ

Is 10MB the free Discord upload limit?

No. Discord currently documents 20MB for non-Nitro users. This page keeps 10MB as a conservative user-selected target; check Discord before uploading because limits can change.

Can CreatorZip guarantee under 10MB for Discord?

No. Final size depends on duration, resolution, motion, and browser performance. Trim or lower resolution if the first export is still large.

Why does Discord pixelate my video?

Discord may process uploaded media. Compressing locally toward a smaller target lets you review quality and size before sharing, but it does not guarantee Discord will avoid further processing.

Is my video uploaded to CreatorZip?

No. CreatorZip is designed for local browser compression when supported.

What if I have Nitro?

Discord currently documents 50MB for Nitro Basic and up to 500MB for Nitro. You may prefer a larger target instead of forcing 10MB.
