Free accounts and Premium
X Help sets two length limits. A free account can post videos up to 140 seconds, 2 minutes 20, and 512 MB. X Premium and the Plus, Premium, Super and Ultra plans take videos shorter than 4 hours and up to 16 GB: at 1080p up to 2 hours, and at 720p between 2 and 4. The checker flags a video that needs Premium, so you know before the upload fails.
The web upload limits
For videos uploaded on the web, X Help lists a maximum of 1920 × 1200 (1200 × 1900 vertical), 40 fps and 25 Mbps, and an aspect ratio between 1:2.39 and 2.39:1. A 60 fps or 4K export goes over, so X may convert it; exporting at 30 fps and 1080p keeps control of the result. To see a file's exact frame rate and size, use the video frame rate checker and the video resolution checker.

How long can a video on X (Twitter) be?
Two minutes and 20 seconds (140 seconds) on a free account. X Premium and the paid plans take videos shorter than 4 hours: at 1080p up to 2 hours, and at 720p between 2 and 4 hours, according to X Help.
What is the maximum video file size on X?
512 MB on a free account and 16 GB on X Premium and the paid plans.
What resolution and aspect ratio does X accept?
For web uploads X Help lists 32 × 32 to 1920 × 1200 (or 1200 × 1900 vertical) and an aspect ratio between 1:2.39 and 2.39:1.
Why does my 60 fps video look different on X?
X Help lists 40 fps and 25 Mbps as the maximum for videos uploaded on the web, so a file above either may be converted. Export at 30 fps, under 25 Mbps, to control the result.
Which file formats can I upload to X?
X Help doesn’t list them; it says you’ll be prompted if a video isn’t in a supported format. An H.264 MP4 is the safe choice.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The checker reads the file in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
Rather have it edited for you?
Send the footage, and the edit comes back cut and sized for Pinterest, Facebook and the rest, and you work directly with Mark.
