How to convert a video for Twitter

X shows an error for videos it can’t process, such as HEVC from an iPhone, 4K, or more than 60 frames per second. Open the video here and export an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound, scaled to fit 1920 × 1200 when it’s larger. Nothing is uploaded until you post it to X yourself.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a video
    Pick the video X won’t take.
  2. Step 2

    Check the length
    Trim it first if it runs past 2:20.
  3. Step 3

    Download the MP4
    Save it, then post it to X.

What to expect

Supported inputs
Any media file this browser’s engine can read.
What happens
H.264 video that already fits is copied. Other video is re-encoded to H.264, scaled down to fit 1920 × 1200 or 1200 × 1920 and to 60 fps when it’s more. Sound that isn’t AAC is re-encoded to AAC, or to MP3 in Firefox, which can’t encode AAC.
Limits
X allows 2 minutes 20 seconds and 512 MB without Premium. Its accepted shapes run from 1:2.39 to 2.39:1, so a very wide or tall video may still need a crop.

Questions

Usually the format: HEVC from an iPhone, a WebM or MKV, a frame rate above 60, or a size above 1920 × 1200. This page fixes all of them. A video longer than 2 minutes 20 seconds also needs trimming, unless you have Premium.

An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound at 1280 × 720 or 1920 × 1080, 30 or 60 fps. That’s what this page exports.

2 minutes 20 seconds for most accounts. Premium subscribers can post much longer videos from the web and iPhone.
