Discord file sharing limits
Free Discord accounts can share files up to 25 MB per message. For channels with active sharing, compressed images keep chat loading fast.
Smaller files also reduce mobile data usage for other members in the server.

Compress before sharing when you have screenshots larger than a few MB, batch meme images, or photos from a high-resolution camera.
For quick screenshots under 1 MB, compression is usually not necessary.
