Bitrate

Avoid overkill

Use quality settings that preserve clarity without producing oversized uploads.

Iteration

Validate on-device

Preview exports on mobile and desktop before posting to production audiences.

What matters most for Email

Platform advice is really about reducing friction. You want a file that uploads reliably, looks good enough in context, and does not create unnecessary size problems.

Use these Email recommendations to prepare compatible uploads quickly in-browser.

Email priorities

  • Match the frame shape to the placement before you obsess over fine export settings
  • Use a practical MP4 unless the platform or workflow clearly needs something else
  • Keep file size realistic for upload speed and retry loops

What usually causes upload pain

Most upload trouble comes from avoidable overkill: files that are larger, sharper, or heavier than the placement actually needs.

The practical workflow

Trim first if the clip is too long, crop if the shape is wrong, resize if the dimensions are excessive, and compress only when the file is still heavier than the destination tolerates.

How to prepare the upload

  1. 1. Pick the exact placement: Decide whether the file is for feed, story, short-form, message, or attachment behavior.
  2. 2. Solve the biggest mismatch first: Fix frame shape or resolution before tweaking compression.
  3. 3. Preview and retry fast: Use one quick export to confirm the upload path behaves the way you expect.

FAQ

What format is usually safest for Email?

MP4 is usually the most practical baseline for Email unless a specific workflow clearly requires something else.

What should I reduce first if uploads keep failing?

Lower resolution or trim duration before pushing compression too hard. That usually gives a better result.

Do I need a huge source export to get a good result?

Usually no. Match the export to the real placement instead of overshooting it.
