| File size | Up to 100 MB |
| File types | MP4, MOV, FLV, AAC, AVI, 3GP, MPEG |
| Sound | Removed once the video is on the listing |

Add a video to an Etsy listing on Etsy.com.
Open Shop Manager
On Etsy.com, select the Shop Manager icon, then Listings.
Pick the listing
Choose the one that needs a video, or create a new listing.
Go to Photo and video
Drag your file into that section, or select Upload and choose it.
Using the Etsy Seller app instead.
In the app, select Listings and open the one you want. Select Listing to see its details, then tap the plus sign under Photo and video, or select View all and then Add a video.
To remove a clip later, select it and tap the trash can icon.
Common mistakes with Etsy videos.
- Relying on a voice-over. Etsy drops the audio, so the clip has to make sense on mute.
- Running past 15 seconds, the ceiling on both Etsy pages.
- Uploading a small file. Under 500px is below Etsy’s minimum, and Etsy calls 1080px or more ideal.
- Hiding the product. Without sound or captions, the item itself has to carry every second.
Etsy’s two help pages disagree on the shortest length: 3 seconds in one, 5 in the other. Make it 5 seconds or more and you meet both.
Turn your listing photo into an Etsy clip.
Open the listing in Chrome
With the Sizzle extension pinned, open your Etsy listing. It picks up the product photo from the page.
A length Etsy takes
Sizzle clips run 5 or 10 seconds, inside both of Etsy’s ranges.
Sound does not matter here
Fast adds music and Studio has its own sound, but Etsy strips audio either way. Fast is the cheaper pick at 15 credits.
You upload it
Download the file and add it under Photo and video. Sizzle never posts to Etsy on your behalf.
Etsy video questions sellers ask.
How long can an Etsy listing video be?
Up to 15 seconds. Etsy puts the minimum at 3 or 5 seconds depending on the page, so 5 is the safe floor.
Why does my Etsy video have no sound?
Etsy removes audio from listing videos after upload. Plan every clip to work silently.
How many videos can an Etsy listing have?
Two, next to as many as 20 photos.
What file size does Etsy accept for listing videos?
Up to 100 MB, in common types such as MP4 or MOV.
Can I upload a listing video from my phone?
Yes, in the Etsy Seller app. Open the listing and use the plus sign under Photo and video.
Can I turn an Etsy listing photo into a video?
Yes. Open the listing with the Sizzle Chrome extension, pick a look, then download the clip and upload it to Etsy.
