Will this guarantee my video is under 8MB for Discord?

Yes. The tool calculates the exact bitrate needed based on your video's duration and applies format-compliant padding to ensure it hits the target size perfectly.

Is my video uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

Can I change the 8MB limit to something else?

Absolutely. You can manually adjust the target size field to 16MB for WhatsApp or any other size you need.
