What Is the Bluesky Video Size Limit

Bluesk allows you to upload one video per post. If the video is less than 60 seconds long, the video size should not exceed 50MB. Otherwise, you would be notified with an error message saying “The selected video is larger than 50MB”.

People also ask how long videos can be on Bluesky. Currently, this platform supports 3-minute videos. In other words, you can now upload a video up to 3 minutes per post.

How about the file size limit? Although the new file size cap is not listed, it should be larger than 50MB and less than 100MB, as I successfully uploaded several videos that are between 1-3 minutes in length and under 100MB.

What video format does Bluesky support? Currently, this platform supports MP4, M4V, MPG, MPEG, MOV, and WebM video files.

Effective Tips to Bypass Bluesky Video File Size Limit

If you want to share videos on Bluesky without running into file size issues, here are some tips to help you bypass the Bluesky video size limit.

1. Trim unnecessary footage: Keep your video short. Remove unnecessary parts or long intros/outros to reduce the video file size.

2. Downscale the resolution: High-resolution videos (like 4K) usually produce large file sizes. Consider lowering the resolution to 1080p or 720p, which is still high-quality but much smaller in size.

3. Compress your video: Use a video compressor to reduce the file size without significantly compromising quality, such as MiniTool Video Converter.

4. Choose the right video format: Generally speaking, MP4 files with H.264 encoding tend to offer a good balance between quality and file size.

5. Reduce the video bitrate: Lowering the bitrate can significantly reduce file size. However, be careful not to lower the bitrate too much, as this can cause a noticeable drop in video quality.
