Using a different aspect ratio for YouTube videos can lead to black bars. If that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll have to remove black bars to make sure your videos follow the 16:9 aspect ratio.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, your goal should be to upload a 1080p HD video, unless you\u2019re uploading an old video, some obscure video, or purposely uploading a low-quality video.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your video quality is low, you can render it at a higher resolution and aspect ratio.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few other things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The maximum video length of a YouTube video is <strong>12 hours<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>YouTube video formats are limited to AVI, WMV, MPEGPS, FLV, WebM, and MP4 (more on this in the coming sections)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to build a brand, you\u2019ll have to stay consistent with the video size for YouTube videos, among other things. While you can create things like a <a href=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/youtube-description-template\/\">YouTube description template<\/a> for your videos, you\u2019ll have to keep video dimensions in mind at all times.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_the_YouTube_Video_Size_Important\"><\/span>Why is the YouTube Video Size Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to have the right YouTube video size because there are certain YouTube guidelines you have to follow. Not following them can lead to penalties, incomplete videos, and irregular video sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, every video on YouTube follows certain dimensions and rules. This is to ensure there are no outliers or issues when playing a video.<\/p>\n<p>When you upload videos, there\u2019s a good chance that a lot of people will see them. You have to make sure they can watch them properly and that the videos look good.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t follow the YouTube video size, you might get resolution issues, or you just might not be able to upload the video.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you upload the video as MOV, MPEG, MP4, AVI, or any other video format, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/features\/resize-image\/youtube-banner\">maintain the dimensions and correct aspect ratio<\/a> for YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube video dimensions and video resolution guidelines have remained the same since its inception. At most, they add higher resolutions such as 8K. However, that\u2019s not currently available for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of additional basic information for the YouTube video size and aspect ratios:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Minimum YouTube Video Size: <\/strong>426 x 240<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum YouTube Video Size:<\/strong> 3840 x 2160<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aspect Ratio for YouTube:<\/strong> 16:9<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum File Size:<\/strong> 128GB<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum Video Length:<\/strong> 12 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supported YouTube File Formats: <\/strong>MOV, MPEG, MP4, AVI, WMV, MPEGPS, FLV, WebM, and 3GP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to upload a 2160p 4K video, you have to ensure you follow all the recommended video settings.

Here\u2019s more on them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The 16:9 aspect ratio is now the standard for all videos on YouTube. It ensures all videos are developed for big TVs, big screens, and professional viewing if required.<\/li>\n<li>A 4:3 aspect ratio is acceptable but mostly used for older videos.<\/li>\n<li>The 1:1 aspect ratio is a perfect square for Instagram videos, but it\u2019s acceptable by YouTube. However, you\u2019ll see black bars with that ratio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll also see black bars (or white space) with the 4:3 aspect ratio. Therefore, it\u2019s best to make use of the 16:9 aspect ratio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Change_My_YouTube_Video_Size\"><\/span>How Can I Change My YouTube Video Size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will need a video editor to convert all video content to the right YouTube video size.

Therefore, it\u2019s best to not go for higher quality videos if it\u2019s not necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Videos longer than 15 minutes require you to verify your Google account.<\/li>\n<li>The standard aspect ratio for video recording is 16:9 (avoid messing with that).<\/li>\n<li>Compress your video before uploading if it\u2019s more than 128GB. You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/handbrake.fr\/\">Handbrake<\/a> to properly compress and encode your videos.<\/li>\n<li>Use the right <a href=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/youtube-thumbnail-size\/\">YouTube thumbnail size<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/youtube-thumbnail-fonts\/\">YouTube thumbnail fonts<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid pillar boxing bars and letterboxing.<\/li>\n<li>Upload your videos in the highest resolution possible.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you record your videos in the highest resolution your camera allows you to.<\/li>\n<li>Always use the correct metadata for all your videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following YouTube video dimensions will ensure your videos get uploaded quickly and without any hiccups.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_YouTube_Dimensions_to_Keep_in_Mind\"><\/span>Additional YouTube Dimensions to Keep in Mind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Along with the recommended YouTube video size, you should also learn about the other YouTube dimensions and sizes, including the following:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_YouTube_Profile_Picture_Size\"><\/span>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 YouTube Profile Picture Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2243 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143812\/YouTube-Profile-Picture-Size.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Profile Picture Size\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143812\/YouTube-Profile-Picture-Size.jpg 450w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143812\/YouTube-Profile-Picture-Size-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143812\/YouTube-Profile-Picture-Size-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143812\/YouTube-Profile-Picture-Size-120x120.jpg 120w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/youtube-profile-picture-size\/\">YouTube profile picture size<\/a> is 800 x 800 pixels.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that there\u2019s a circular crop, so try to design your profile picture accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_YouTube_Banner_Size\"><\/span>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 YouTube Banner Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2242 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143917\/Recommended-YouTube-Banner-Size.png\" alt=\"Recommended YouTube Banner Size\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143917\/Recommended-YouTube-Banner-Size.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143917\/Recommended-YouTube-Banner-Size-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143917\/Recommended-YouTube-Banner-Size-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143917\/Recommended-YouTube-Banner-Size-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/01143917\/Recommended-YouTube-Banner-Size-700x394.png 700w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The recommended <a href=\"https:\/\/pixled.accesstool.in\/blog\/youtube-banner-size\/\">YouTube banner size<\/a> is 2560 x 1440 pixels.<\/p>\n<p>The minimum banner dimensions are 2048 x 1152 pixels.
