Frequently Asked Questions

What is Notion's video file size limit?

Notion has a file size limit of 5MB (Free) / 5GB (Paid). To ensure successful uploads, we recommend compressing your video to slightly below this limit. Our tool can help you target the exact file size you need.

What video format does Notion support?

Notion works best with MP4 format using H.264 codec. This combination ensures compatibility across all devices and smooth playback.

Why won't Notion accept my video?

The most common reason is file size exceeding 5MB (Free) / 5GB (Paid). Other issues include unsupported formats or resolutions. Compress your video and ensure it's in MP4 format before uploading.

Does Notion compress my videos automatically?

Notion may apply its own compression after upload, which can reduce quality. By compressing your video beforehand with our tool, you have full control over the quality settings and can often achieve better results than automatic platform compression.
