Frequently asked questions
What is the video size limit on X (Twitter)?
Free accounts: up to 512 MB and 2:20 in length. Premium and Premium+ allow far larger and longer videos (up to several hours and many GB).
What's the best video format for X?
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio plays most reliably. SqueezeVid outputs exactly that, optimized for X's 720p playback.
Does SqueezeVid upload my video to compress it?
Video bytes stay on your device in this browser tool. SqueezeVid receives usage metadata to manage allowances and failures. Optional cloud processing is a separate route that requires an upload.
My video is under 2:20 but won't post — why?
It's probably over 512 MB or in an unsupported codec. Compress it here to a supported MP4 under the size limit and it should post.
