How it works

Made for Discord
Discord raised its free upload limit from 10 MB to 20 MB in August 2026. BasePic keeps the video at most 20,000,000 bytes, so it fits.
How long a video fits in 20 MB
For a 1080p phone video at 30 frames per second with sound, BasePic keeps 1080p for up to 38 seconds, 720p up to 1 min 24 s, 540p up to 2 min 26 s, 480p up to 3 min and 360p up to 5 min 14 s. Longer videos, up to 15 minutes, get 240p.
Never over 20 MB
BasePic leaves 6 % of the room for the MP4 file itself, then measures the saved video. If it is still too big, it makes it again with less data per second. If even that does not fit, you get a message instead of a file that is too big.
Too long for 20 MB?
Trim the clip to the moment you want to share, or send the BasePic link of the original video instead. The link plays in the browser and works for videos up to 2 GB.
