Recommended resolution is 1280x720 (720p) or 1920x1080 (1080p). Frame rate should be 30fps or 60fps. Aspect ratio can be 16:9 (landscape) or 1:1 (square).
How to Compress Video for Twitter
Upload your video, trim it to 2 minutes 20 seconds or less using our trimmer, then compress with the 'Best Balance' preset. The output MP4 will meet Twitter's requirements and upload quickly. For longer videos, consider splitting them into multiple tweets.
Optimizing Video for Twitter Engagement
Twitter videos autoplay in the feed, so the first frame matters. Add captions since videos autoplay muted. Keep videos under 30 seconds for highest engagement. Use 16:9 aspect ratio for best visibility in the timeline. Compress before uploading to ensure fast processing on Twitter's servers.
Twitter Video Quality Tips
For Twitter, 720p resolution is usually sufficient and uploads faster than 1080p. Use 30fps for most content. Keep bitrate between 3-5 Mbps for good quality without excessive file size. Our 'Best Balance' preset provides these optimal settings automatically.
