Taisly Video Upload Limits: File Size & Duration
To maintain lightning-fast processing and guarantee compatibility across every social platform we support, Taisly enforces two simple but important limits on every video you upload:
| Limit Type | Requirement | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum File Size | 150 MB per video | Keeps uploads quick and ensures videos are accepted by TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X (Twitter), and Facebook Groups |
| Allowed Duration | 3–60 seconds | Matches the sweet-spot for short-form content and meets the native limits of each platform |
Best-Practice Recommendations
- Aim for 10–30 seconds – Short videos typically earn higher completion rates and engagement
- Keep file sizes well below 150 MB by exporting with an efficient codec (H.264 or H.265) and a bitrate of 1–10 Mbps
- Maintain vertical 9:16 aspect ratio at a minimum resolution of 540 × 960 px (1080 × 1920 px recommended) for crisp playback
What Happens If My Video Exceeds These Limits?
- File Size Over 150 MB – Taisly will reject the upload and prompt you to compress or trim the file before trying again
- Duration Under 3 seconds or Over 60 seconds – The upload will be blocked to prevent publishing errors on connected platforms
Quick Optimization Tips
- Trim unnecessary intros/outros to reduce length
- Compress footage using free tools like HandBrake or online compressors
- Use MP4 (H.264) – It offers the best balance of quality and small file size
By following these guidelines, your videos will upload faster, look sharper, and post seamlessly to every platform in your Taisly workflow
