When you need 8 MB

Discord, Slack and many forum or email-style uploads cap attachments at about 8 MB, which is why a clip that looks small still gets rejected.

Fitting the file under 8 MB

Keep clips short and focused: a 30 to 45 second clip at 720p fits comfortably, while a minute of 1080p footage will need the resolution lowered automatically. The tool aims for roughly 93 to 95 percent of the limit so the finished file does not tip over it.

The tool divides 8 MB by the length of your clip to find the bitrate that fits, lowers the resolution if that bitrate would look blocky, then checks the result and re-encodes with a correction if it came out too large.

Usually yes. 8 MB over 60 seconds leaves roughly 1 Mbps, which gives a clean 480p to 720p picture. Longer clips are scaled down further.

No. Encoding happens on your device with the WebCodecs API built into your browser, so the file never leaves it.

The tool tells you before encoding starts. About 1 minute is the practical limit at 8 MB; trim the clip first with the Video Trimmer or pick a larger size.

You can force 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p. The size target stays fixed, so a higher resolution simply means a lower bitrate per pixel.
