# Compress videos for Discord and email

> Compress a video to fit Discord or email attachment limits privately in your browser with Tella's free tools.

Tella's free video compressors reduce a video's file size for Discord or email. You do not need a Tella account, and the downloaded video has no watermark.

## Compress a video

1. Open the [Discord video compressor](https://www.tella.com/tools/video-compressor-for-discord) or [email video compressor](https://www.tella.com/tools/compress-video-for-email).
2. Select the target file size for your destination.
3. Drag your video onto the page, or click **Choose a video** and select it from your device.
4. Preview the file, then click **Compress to under \[size] MB**.
5. When compression finishes, click **Download video**.

If your file is already below the selected limit, Tella keeps the original quality and lets you download the unchanged file.

## Choose a file size

For Discord, choose the limit that matches your plan:

* **10 MB** — Discord Free
* **50 MB** — Nitro Basic
* **500 MB** — Nitro

For email, choose the limit that matches the recipient's provider:

* **10 MB** — a conservative option for managed or strict mail servers
* **20 MB** — a common Outlook and iCloud Mail limit
* **25 MB** — the personal Gmail total attachment limit

<Note>
  Email providers can count all attachments toward the limit, and workplace limits may differ. Choose a smaller target if your message contains other attachments or you do not know the recipient's limit.
</Note>

## Privacy and browser support

Compression happens on your device. Your video is not uploaded to Tella's servers.

The tools support common video files, including MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV. Use a recent version of Chrome, Edge, or Safari because the browser must be able to decode and encode the video.

<Warning>
  Very long videos may not fit a small target while remaining playable. If the tool cannot reach your selected limit, choose a larger target or trim the video first.
</Warning>
