Etsy listing video requirements and checklist

Etsy’s listing video limits

These come from Etsy’s help article, How to Add Listing Videos, as checked on 7 November 2026. Etsy can change them, so check that page if an upload is rejected.

Some of Etsy’s other guidance mentions a minimum of 5 seconds, so a video of 5 to 15 seconds meets both.

Checklist before you upload

• The video lasts between 5 and 15 seconds.
• The file is under 100 MB and saved as an MP4 or another common format.
• It is at least 1080px, so it stays sharp.
• It makes sense with the sound off.
• It shows the product the shopper will actually receive.

Check the shape after uploading

Etsy’s article asks for a 2:1 or 1:2 aspect ratio, and not every video is exactly that shape. Many mockup scenes, for example, are a little narrower than 2:1. After you upload, view the listing on a computer and a phone, and make sure the important part of your design is clearly visible.

Making a video that fits

Each MockupMotion video mockup shows its length on its page, so you can check it before you start. Our guide on making a listing video without filming walks through the rest.
