Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shopify's video file size limit?

Shopify has a file size limit of 1GB. 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 Shopify support?

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

Why won't Shopify accept my video?

The most common reason is file size exceeding 1GB. Other issues include unsupported formats or resolutions. Compress your video and ensure it's in MP4 format before uploading.

Does Shopify compress my videos automatically?

Shopify 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.
