Limits, plans, and the tool that matches
| Platform | Limit | Plan | Notes | Source and tool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discord | 20 MB | Free | Raised from 10 MB in August 2026. Discord checks the size before its own compression, including on mobile. The in-app value wins if an account is in a test. | File Attachments FAQ · Discord compressor |
| Discord | 50 MB | Nitro Basic | Account plan, not a server boost. | File Attachments FAQ · Nitro Basic preset |
| Discord | 1 GB | Nitro | Published as up to 1 GB. It was 500 MB. The Account Caps article still showing 10 MB / 500 MB is stale. | File Attachments FAQ · Nitro preset |
| Discord | Level 2 50 MB · Level 3 100 MB | Server Boost | Those caps apply to members of that boosted server only. | Server Boosting FAQ · Discord compressor |
| Gmail | 25 MB | Personal | About 25 MB of attachments. Above that, Gmail can insert a Drive link. Workspace attachment size is set by the administrator. | Gmail attachment help · Workspace admin help · Gmail preset |
| Outlook.com | 20 MB | Outlook.com and internet accounts | Message size, including the attachment and the message. This is separate from Gmail's 25 MB. | Reduce attachment size · Outlook preset |
| Exchange | 10 MB | Default | Default only. A tenant administrator can change it. | Reduce attachment size · Outlook preset |
| 64 MB at 480p · 100 MB at 720p | Consumer video | Slower networks default to 64 MB. Faster networks default to 100 MB. HD is a separate quality setting and has no megabyte on this page. Documents are a separate path up to 2 GB. | WhatsApp video help · WhatsApp documents · Spanish compressor · Portuguese compressor | |
| Telegram | 2 GB free · 4 GB Premium | File send | File-send caps from Telegram's FAQ. | Telegram FAQ · Telegram Premium FAQ · Video Compressor |
| KakaoTalk | 300 MB | PC file send | PC help says one file can be up to 300 MB. The verified sentence is in Japanese. Older article 974 is not the current cap. | KakaoTalk PC help · KakaoTalk compressor · Korean field note |
| LINE | Not published | Chat video | LINE's help center does not publish a chat video size limit. The send article explains how to send. Album length and historic VOOM are not chat caps. Official Account broadcast video is a separate 200 MB path. | LINE send help · OA broadcast formats · LINE compressor · Japanese field note |
| Zalo | Not an official universal cap | Third-party reports | Circulating reports say about 100 MB on mobile and about 1 GB on Zalo PC. Those figures are not an official universal cap from Zalo. The Vietnamese field note already treats them cautiously. | Vietnamese Zalo note |
How to read a missing number
LINE's chat video row stays blank on purpose. Zalo's row records third-party reports and points at the Vietnamese field note. Yahoo Mail, iCloud Mail, and other mail hosts are absent because this check did not re-verify them.
