What Is the Max File Size for Discord?<\/h2>\n\n\n

The maximum file size for free Discord users is 25MB. Two premium-tier subscriptions (Nitro Classic & Nitro) offer increased file sizes. This limit is considered inadequate compared to other messaging platforms like Telegram, which has a larger limit of up to 2GB.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending common files such as a 30-second video, a 15-minute audio recording, or a Photoshop file with multiple layers can be challenging. However, there are ways to circumvent the small maximum file size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Discord Nitro’s Maximum File Size?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Discord Nitro’s maximum file size is 50MB to 500MB, depending on the selected plan. Premium subscribers can boost the server they are using. Having more Nitro subscribers boosts a server and also increases the upload limit to 500MB for all users on that server.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows for a seamless sharing experience, where users can send large files to their friends or fellow server members without error messages. Discord Nitro also provides users with higher-quality screen sharing and supports the continued development of Discord.<\/p>\n\n\n
