X (Twitter) Video Length Tips

Free accounts are limited to 2 minutes 20 seconds

Standard X (Twitter) accounts can upload videos up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds long. This tight limit forces you to be concise, so script your videos to deliver the core message quickly.

Premium subscribers get up to 4 hours

X Premium (formerly Twitter Blue) subscribers can upload videos up to 4 hours long with file sizes up to 8GB. This is useful for long-form content like podcast clips and webinar recordings.

Shorter clips get more engagement

Despite the time limits, videos under 45 seconds perform best on X. The fast-scrolling timeline rewards punchy content that delivers value immediately.

Upload in MP4 at 1080p

X supports MP4 and MOV formats. For the best playback quality, upload at 1920 x 1080px (16:9 landscape) or 1080 x 1920px (9:16 vertical) with H.264 encoding.

File size limit is 512MB for free accounts

Free X accounts have a 512MB video file size limit. Premium subscribers can upload up to 8GB. Compress longer videos using H.264 to stay within these limits.
