Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

    Interesting. Mine is 3840x1600 which should be ever so slightly less pixels.

    I have noticed the content does matter, is your background native resolution or mostly one color?

      3840 * 1600 * 4B / 1024 / 1024 = 23.4375MiB for uncompressed RGBA (four bytes per pixel).

      That is, even if that thing was pure random pixels and would have to be stored uncompressed and you’d use a completely useless alpha channel you still don’t hit 25M.

        I did some test, i was speaking from memory.

        it depends on whats on screen.

        Just desktop is 128kb but irl that rarely what i send to people.

        Just my game launcher will bump that up to 5MB

        But the 100% real experience i have is that is try to show someone a screenshot and i get a message that files are “too powerful” so i have conditioned myself to only show the relevant half of my screen.

        So either that 25MB was a lie or i do frequently exceed it?
