Make any file fit Discord's upload limit

Drop a file, pick your Discord tier, and see instantly whether it will send — all in your browser.

File size checker

Your Discord tier Which one?
Drop a file above or click to choose one. Nothing is sent anywhere — your file is read locally to measure its size.

Everything runs in your browser — your files never leave your device.

How it works

1

Pick your tier

Choose 10 MB (free), 50 MB (Nitro Basic), or 500 MB (Nitro) to match the account you'll upload from.

2

Drop your file

Your browser reads the file locally and shows its exact size against your limit. No upload happens.

3

Get it under the cap

If it's over, smallcord shows how much it must shrink. In-browser compression to hit that target is coming next.

Questions

Is it safe? Does my file get uploaded anywhere?

No file is uploaded. smallcord runs entirely in your browser, so the file you drop is read on your own device and never sent to a server — there is no backend that could receive it. You can verify this in your browser's Network tab: choosing a file triggers zero network requests.

Which Discord tier should I pick?

Match the tier to the account doing the upload. Free Discord accounts can attach files up to 10 MB; Nitro Basic raises that to 50 MB, and full Nitro to 500 MB. Server boosts can raise a server's ceiling, but the per-message limit is still set by your subscription — so choose based on your account, not the server.

What file types will it handle?

Right now the page reads any file and tells you how far over your limit it is. The compression step (added next) targets what benefits most: video (MP4/MOV/WebM re-encoded to a bitrate budget) and images (PNG/JPG/WebP re-encoded). Already-compressed data like ZIPs or low-bitrate H.264 rarely shrinks much further — smallcord will say so plainly rather than pretend.

Do I need an account? Are you tracking me?

No account, no tracking. There's no sign-up or login, and no analytics or ad scripts on this page. Nothing about your file or your visit is stored or transmitted.

Are you affiliated with Discord?

No. smallcord is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord Inc. We name "Discord" only to describe what the tool does: help a file fit Discord's upload limits.
