## Questions people ask

### What are the LinkedIn video specs in 2026?

For a video in a post, LinkedIn Help gives: 3 seconds to 15 minutes long, 75 KB to 5 GB, 256 × 144 to 4096 × 2304 pixels, a shape between 1:2.4 and 2.4:1, 10 to 60 frames per second, and a bit rate of 192 Kbps to 30 Mbps. MP4 and MOV are both accepted.

### What is the LinkedIn video length limit?

A video in a post can be up to 15 minutes long. The shortest is 3 seconds from a computer and 2 seconds from the LinkedIn mobile app. A Page or Career Page video can be up to 10 minutes, and a video ad up to 30 minutes.

### What is the LinkedIn video size limit?

The largest file for a post is 5 GB and the smallest is 75 KB. A video ad can be up to 500 MB.

### What is the best LinkedIn video size in pixels?

LinkedIn names sizes for video ads, and they are a sound choice for posts too: 1920 × 1080 for landscape 16:9, 720 × 900 for 4:5 vertical, and 720 × 1280 for 9:16 vertical. A square ad can be anything from 360 × 360 to 1920 × 1920. A post accepts anything from 256 × 144 to 4096 × 2304.

### Does LinkedIn support vertical video?

Yes. A post accepts any shape from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1, which covers 9:16 and 4:5. For video ads LinkedIn lists both 4:5 and 9:16, and marks 4:5 as the recommended ratio.

### What video format does LinkedIn accept?

For a post: MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, WMV, and MPEG files. For a Page or Career Page video, LinkedIn says it no longer supports AVI, QuickTime, or MOV. A video ad has to be an MP4 with H.264 or VP8 video and AAC audio. LinkedIn also says a ProRes file may upload but will not process.

### Why does the checker say the frame rate could not be read?

The frame rate is read from the header of an MP4 or MOV file. For other containers, such as WEBM or MKV, the browser does not report it, so that check is skipped and the others still run.

### Is my video uploaded?

No. The checker reads the file on your device, a small part at a time, so even a 5 GB video is not sent anywhere.
