UPDATE: Major revamp with real-time progress bar, streaming uploads, and full ShareX compatibility
- More file uploaders - additional natively supported file uploaders
- New progress bar - real-time upload progress with speed, ETA, percentage, and cancel button
- Streaming uploads - faster file transfers with chunked streaming instead of loading entire file into memory
- Full ShareX support - import
.sxcuconfigs with POST/PUT/PATCH methods, binary uploads, and smart JSON response parsing - Nitro-aware mode - optionally let Discord handle files under your Nitro limit natively
- Drag & drop / paste - intercept file uploads up to 1GB
- Video embedding - auto-wrap video links with embeds.video for inline playback
- Better error handling - detailed error messages with file context for easier debugging
Tip
If you run into any issues, please let me know on Discord
Bypass Discord's upload limit without Nitro. This plugin adds an Upload a Big File button that uploads your files to external hosting services (Catbox, Gofile, etc. or any ShareX-compatible custom uploader) and pastes the link into chat.
Features a real-time progress bar with upload speed, ETA, and cancel button. Supports drag & drop and paste for files up to 1GB, with unlimited file size via the Upload button. Optionally respects your Nitro limit so Discord handles smaller files natively.
You can either git clone the repository OR manually install it by downloading it as a zip file.
Warning
Make sure you have the Vencord developer build installed.
Important
Inside the Vencord folder should be a folder called src. If you haven't already, create a folder called userplugins inside the src folder.
