Discord offers several features to ensure the best user experience. One of these popular features is the ability to share files. However, if you don't subscribe to Discord Nitro, you can only send or upload files up to 25MB in size. But what if we told you there was a way to get around Discord's file size limit?
And don't subscribe to Nitro! Furthermore, even if you choose the Nirtro plan, you can only share files up to 500MB in size. This can be annoying since Discord is a great place to connect with friends or groups.
However, using the tried and tested solutions mentioned in this guide, you can send or upload large files on Discord without any problems. Let's get started.
1. Upload videos to IMGUR and share them on DISCORD
Imgur is an online platform where users can share content such as images, GIFs, memes, videos, and reviews. Using this tool, you can send videos larger than 100MB or 500MB on Discord without Nitro. Here's how:
Step 1: Open Imgur Log in or register to your account.
Step 2: tap on New post.
Step 3: Click “Choose a photo/video” Upload the video you want to compress to Discord.
Step 4: during Download video, You can choose whether or not to keep the audio.
Step 5: Choose Grab link.
Step 6: Locate copy link.
Step 7: Now, share the link wherever you want on Discord.
From here, other members can watch the video without opening the link. Furthermore, if you need to access the files again, you can go to your Imgur profile and select Posts. From here, select the post you want to share and then follow the steps above to share the video.
2. Bypass the DISCORD file size limit by compressing files
The best way to reduce file size on Discord is to compress the file. You can use any popular file compressor to do this.
