What this tool does
The page lists pixel size, frame rate, and bitrate starting points we are willing to publish as of the review date. It is not a live scrape of each platform’s help centre.
How to use it
- Pick a destination.
- Read the starting point.
- Confirm against the platform’s current documentation before a critical campaign.
Supported input
- None required
Output
- On-page reference plus optional JSON
Privacy

ConvertPass does not include your input in analytics, URLs, or error reports. Encoding: N/A. Limit: N/A.
Limitations
- Platforms change limits without notice.
- We do not claim these settings skip transcoding.
- HDR and 10-bit paths are not covered here.
Example
YouTube 1080p
1920×1080, 30 fps, 8000 kbps video, 192 kbps audio as a starting point
Troubleshooting
- The platform still looks soft
- They re-encode. Start sharper than you think, avoid stacking compression, and keep text large.
FAQ
Will following this skip YouTube’s transcode?
No. YouTube always transcodes. The goal is to give their encoder a clean source.
Why 30 fps not 24?
Social feeds are mixed. 30 is a safer default for UI motion. Film projects can stay at 24 if the whole pipeline agrees.
Do you process my video here?
No. This page is reference. The video compressor is a separate tool: it re-encodes a short clip in this tab, with duration and encoder caps stated on that page.
When was this reviewed?
