Compress images for Discord
Get images under Discord’s upload cap without Nitro. Target-size mode compresses to an exact limit right in your browser — no uploads, no quality guesswork.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
Discord’s upload limits, briefly
Free Discord accounts can upload files up to 10 MB (long capped at 8 MB, a number many servers and bots still enforce); Nitro raises it dramatically. High-resolution screenshots, artwork and phone photos regularly blow past the free cap — and Discord just refuses the upload rather than compressing for you.
Hit the cap precisely
The default 8 MB target clears every Discord tier and legacy bot limit; drop it to a few hundred kilobytes if you want chat images that load instantly for everyone. The compressor searches for the best quality that fits your chosen number, so you never trade more quality than the limit demands.
Compress before you share, privately
Everything runs in your browser — the image goes straight from your device into your Discord message, without a third-party compression server seeing your memes, art or screenshots first.
Frequently asked questions
- Does my image get uploaded?
- No. All compression happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device and are never sent to a server.
- Does compression reduce quality?
- Lossy formats (JPG, WebP, AVIF) trade a little quality for much smaller files, and the quality slider lets you find the right balance. PNG is lossless, so it stays pixel-perfect.
- Which formats are supported?
- You can compress JPG, PNG and WebP. You can also convert a PNG photo to WebP during compression for much smaller files.
- Can I compress to a specific file size?
- Yes. Switch to “Target size” mode and PixelVault searches for the highest quality that fits under your chosen KB limit.
- Can I compress multiple images at once?
- Yes. Drop in as many images as you like and download them individually or together as a single ZIP file.
