Social Video Length Checker
Enter how long your video runs and see, platform by platform, whether it fits and by how much it goes over. Nothing is uploaded, so you can check drafts privately.
Free, no sign-up, runs in your browser. Updated 2026-11-11.
What this checker does
It takes one video length and compares it with the longest ordinary upload each platform accepts. It shows what fits, how much room is left, or how far over the limit the video runs. Everything runs in your browser, and the video file is never uploaded.
Limits used
| Platform | Limit used here | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram Reels | 3 minutes | Reels up to 3 minutes long. |
| Instagram Stories | 60 seconds per segment | Longer videos are split into 60-second stories. |
| Instagram feed video | 60 minutes | Regular feed posts, not Reels. |
| TikTok | 10 minutes | Standard uploads. Some accounts can post longer. |
| YouTube Shorts | 3 minutes | Vertical Shorts up to 3 minutes. |
| X (Twitter) | 2 min 20 sec | Standard accounts. Paid subscriptions allow longer. |
| LinkedIn feed video | 10 minutes | Feed posts. |
These are the limits commonly published for each app at the time of writing. Platforms change them without notice, and some accounts get different allowances. Check the upload screen before you post.
How to fit a long video
- Trim to the shortest platform you need. A cut under 3 minutes works for Reels and Shorts.
- Split into parts for Stories, where each segment plays up to 60 seconds, or post a series on the faster platforms.
- Keep the full version for YouTube long-form or LinkedIn, and cut a short teaser for the faster platforms.
Length is not the only check
A video that fits can still lose viewers if text sits under the app's buttons. Use the safe zone checker to keep captions clear of the edges. For image dimensions and file limits, see the sizes and limits cheat sheet.
How to use this social video length checker
- Enter the video length as m:ss or h:mm:ss, or as seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Are these the official limits?
They are the limits commonly published for each app. Platforms change them without notice, so confirm in the upload screen before you post.
Why does Stories say to split?
Stories plays in segments of up to 60 seconds. A longer video can still be shared as a series of stories, and the tool shows how many segments it needs.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool only uses the length you type, and it runs entirely in your browser.
