Uploading videos & images
File limits and formats, what happens during processing, thumbnails, titles, slugs and tags – everything about getting a video online.
Last updated
Limits & formats
- Up to 4 GB per video. Uploads are resumable – a dropped connection continues where it stopped.
- Accepted: MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, FLV, MPEG/TS, M4V, 3GP; images as JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF.
- Upload from the Upload entry in your profile menu or directly from the chat composer (Attach Video → Upload from device).
Processing
After the upload your video is transcoded into an adaptive HLS ladder up to the original resolution, so viewers get the best quality their connection allows. Vertical videos are recognised automatically and also appear in Shorts. Thumbnails and a social preview image are generated; you can pick a different thumbnail later in the video options.
Processing usually takes a few minutes, depending on length and resolution. The video shows up in your profile as soon as it is ready; until then it is marked as processing.
Video options
Open any of your videos → Options:
| Tab | What you can set |
|---|---|
| Video | Title, description (bold, italic, lists), thumbnail, active/inactive, access, download allowed for buyers, own URL slug |
| Tags | Up to 50 tags from the approved list – see Tag filter. Missing a tag? Propose it in the Tag Election |
| Monetization | Free or for sale, price in SOL or USD – see Pricing & fees |
| Statistics | Views and visits for the last 3 / 7 / 30 days |
Inactive videos are hidden from everyone but you – useful while you finish the description or wait for a release date.
Images
Images have their own gallery on your profile and the same visibility options as videos (public, unlisted, private). Private images are only reachable for buyers of an offer that contains them or for people you send them to in chat.
Removing a video
Remove video in the options marks it for deletion; it disappears from the site immediately and is removed from storage afterwards. Buyers keep access to videos they purchased until the file is gone, so consider making a sold video private instead of deleting it.
