LinkedIn (native feed video, incl. vertical) Video Specs

LinkedIn Native Feed Video Specs (2026)

LinkedIn allows video uploads directly to the feed, with support for vertical, square, and landscape formats. Refer to the on-page data table for the most up-to-date details. Key points:

  • Max length: 15 minutes (some mobile uploads may still be limited to 10 minutes)
  • Aspect ratio: Any from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1 (vertical 9:16, 4:5, square 1:1, landscape 16:9 all accepted)
  • Resolution: From 256x144 up to 4096x2304 (common: 1080x1920 for vertical, 1920x1080 for landscape)
  • Max file size: 5 GB
  • Frame rate: 10 to 60 fps
  • Formats/codecs: MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, WMV, and others (ProRes uploads won't process)
  • Captions: Auto-captions can be toggled on; upload SRT files from desktop; captions editable after posting

Safe Zones and UI Overlap

LinkedIn overlays interface elements on video edges, especially in the mobile feed and full-screen vertical playback. To avoid important text or logos being obscured, keep all key content away from the top, bottom, and side edges. LinkedIn does not publish exact safe zone pixel values, so a conservative margin is recommended.

Exporting Clips for LinkedIn (Vertical & Other Formats)

For best results, export your video in one of the supported aspect ratios and resolutions. For vertical videos, 1080x1920 (9:16) is optimal. Always encode in MP4 (H.264/AAC) for maximum compatibility. Limit your video to 15 minutes and 5 GB. Set frame rates between 24 and 30 fps for smooth playback. If adding captions, export an SRT file or use LinkedIn's auto-captioning.

If you need to quickly create short, vertical clips from a long video, the Vidulk app (iOS & Android) uses AI to find the best moments and exports them with captions, sized for LinkedIn and other platforms.

Uploading Tips and Common Issues

  • On iOS, uploading will stall if the LinkedIn app is backgrounded; keep it open until upload completes.
  • Videos stored in iCloud cannot be uploaded directly from mobile - move them to local storage first.
  • If your video is rejected, check file size, length, and codec compliance with the table above.
  • LinkedIn auto-captions may take time to appear after posting; you can edit or remove them later.

Specs Change: Always Double-Check

LinkedIn updates video specs periodically. Before a major upload, verify requirements in the LinkedIn Help Center to avoid compatibility issues.

Export clips that fit these specs automatically - Vidulk reframes to 9:16, captions and trims to length. Free to start on iOS and Android.
