Uploading

Uploading to VideoBB is built for big files. Each file can be up to 4 GB, and the transfer can pick up where it stopped if your connection drops. After the upload, VideoBB turns your file into a set of quality levels so it plays well on any screen.

This section explains what happens at each step. It covers the formats we accept, how many files you can send a day, how long processing takes and when a video becomes a Short.

Common questions in this section

• Which formats and sizes work, and how many uploads you get a day on a free or Premium account.
• How to resume an upload after a dropped connection or a closed laptop.
• Why a video plays at low quality first and gets sharper a few minutes later.
• Why a short clip lands in the Shorts feed instead of the regular feeds.
• Why private and unlisted videos are deleted after 30 days without views.

For the bigger picture, read why video uploads fail and how to fix each cause. If upload speed is the problem, the guide to video upload speed and time shows how to estimate a transfer. Need a smaller file first? The free video compressor can shrink it before you upload.
