GIF Compressor to 20MB: Hit Discord’s Upload Limit Fast

What “GIF compressor to 20MB” should do

The job is simple: take an oversized animated GIF and emit a new file that is under 20MB so Discord (and similar hosts) will accept it. Quality should stay as high as that budget allows—not a one-size-fits-all 50% slider.

Use the GIF compressor to 20MB page. The target is locked just under 20MB so picky clients do not reject a file that rounds to 20.0MB.

20MB vs 10MB vs 256KB

These are different products even though they are all “GIF compression”:

• 20MB — Discord file upload / nitro-style chat GIFs.
• 10MB — email, forums, and leftover Discord 10MB rules. See compress to 10MB.
• 256KB / 512KB — custom emoji and stickers. See the emoji compressor.

Pick the largest limit you are allowed. Compressing a chat GIF down to 256KB throws away quality you did not need to lose.
