Twitter Video Requirements
To upload a video to Twitter, there are certain requirements and limitations you need to keep in mind. Here are the general video requirements for Twitter:
File Format: Twitter supports various video file formats, including MP4 and MOV. It is recommended to use the MP4 format for better compatibility.
Maximum File Size: The maximum file size for videos uploaded via the Twitter website or mobile app is 512MB.
Video Length: Twitter allows videos with a maximum duration of 2 minutes and 20 seconds (140 seconds). However, videos longer than 2 minutes and 20 seconds can still be uploaded, but Twitter will truncate them and make them viewable in a trimmed format.
Aspect Ratio and Dimensions: Twitter supports a range of aspect ratios, including 1:2.39 to 2.39:1 (inclusive). The recommended aspect ratio is 16:9. The minimum resolution for videos is 32×32 pixels, and the maximum resolution is 1920×1200 pixels.
Frame Rate: The recommended frame rate for Twitter videos is 30 frames per second (FPS). Other common frame rates like 24 FPS or 60 FPS may also work, but 30 FPS is the optimal choice.
Bitrate: Twitter recommends using a bitrate of 5,000-10,000 kbps (kilobits per second) for video uploads. However, it can support bitrates up to 25,000 kbps.
Codecs: For video encoding, Twitter recommends using the H.264 codec with AAC audio. This combination provides good compatibility across various devices and platforms.
It’s important to note that these requirements and limitations are subject to change, so it’s always a good idea to refer to Twitter’s official documentation or support resources for the most up-to-date information.
