Frequently Asked Questions
How does TargetCompress ensure the video stays under 10MB?
TargetCompress calculates optimal two-pass bitrate: Bitrate = (Target Bytes × 8) / Duration. Our client-side WebAssembly FFmpeg encodes the video to target this bitrate limit.
Do I need Discord Nitro to share my videos?
No! With TargetCompress, you can shrink any video to fit Discord's free 10MB limit and share clips with friends without paying for a Nitro subscription.
