This is the reason I've never used discord outside voice chatting with friends a few times per month.

A basic photo from my phone is over the file size limit. It's essentially unusable, and I'm not going to get me and my friends and family to all pay a subscription for a feature literally every other chat app provides for free. Sorry.

For a while this was a problem, but now Discord just auto-compresses photos over 8MB. Obviously this isn't ideal if you want to actually share the full-size image, but for most use-cases a compressed photo is fine. Almost every other chat app is also compressing your images, it just isn't telling you it's doing it outright.

When did they start this? Because I last tried a few months ago to send a photo and it was telling me it was too large, and to buy nitro. It was ~8.6MB

Years ago, as far as I can tell. Are you using an older version of the app maybe? I've not had Discord outright refuse to send pictures for ~2 years now, for a while it would ask to compress them, now it'll just automatically compress them (unless it's so big it can't of course).

Back in April they also increased the limit to 25MB, so even less stuff should need to get compressed anyway.

I believe it doesn't always work for whatever reason. I had images from my phone get the 'over 8mb' message sometimes only a few months ago as well, sometimes it worked but other times it didn't

Maybe he send the full file and not just the photo via the photo option.

Only the phone apps auto-compress, the desktop and Web versions do not.
