Video Guidelines

Size

Maximum file size: 8 GB

Resolution and Aspect Ratio

The standard aspect ratio for YouTube on a desktop is 16:9. When uploading other aspect ratios (vertical, square, etc.), the player automatically adapts itself to the size of the video, providing the optimal viewing experience based on the aspect ratio and device.

Frame Rate

Content should be encoded and uploaded in the same frame rate it was recorded. Common frame rates include 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60 frames per second (other frame rates are also acceptable).

Interlaced content should be deinterlaced before uploading. For example, 1080i60 content should be deinterlaced to 1080p30, going from 60 interlaced fields per second to 30 progressive frames per second.
