Why Twitter Videos Blur

Twitter's compression algorithm is notorious for crushing quality, especially reds and fast motion.

The Fix: We prepare your video with a bitrate that is "just right"—high enough for quality but efficient enough that Twitter's servers don't feel the need to crush it further.

Engagement Tips

Use 1:1 Aspect Ratio

Square videos take up 78% more screen real estate on mobile than landscape videos.

Hardcode Subtitles

Most people watch Twitter videos on mute. Burned-in captions are essential.

Twitter/X video compressor FAQ

Answers about quality, formats, and posting videos on X.

What is the video length limit on Twitter/X?+
For free users, video length is capped at 140 seconds (2 minutes and 20 seconds). Premium subscribers can upload videos up to 2 hours (1080p) or 3 hours (720p).
Why does my Twitter video look low quality?+
Twitter heavily compresses videos. To get the best quality, upload a video that is already compressed to a reasonable bitrate (around 5-8 Mbps) so Twitter touches it less.
Max file size for Twitter videos?+
The technical limit is 512MB for personal accounts, but can be larger for Premium. We recommend keeping it under 100MB for fast buffering.
What is the best aspect ratio?+
Square (1:1) or Portrait (9:16) takes up more screen space on mobile, leading to higher engagement than Landscape (16:9).
Can I upload 4K video to Twitter?+
Technically yes, but Twitter will downscale it to 1080p effectively. It's often better to upload a high-bitrate 1080p file.
