What gets checked

  • Format: LinkedIn only takes MP4 video. Instagram photos must be JPEG. YouTube doesn't take images at all.
  • Length: Reels run 3 seconds to 15 minutes, LinkedIn videos 3 seconds to 30 minutes, Facebook up to 4 hours.
  • Size: 300 MB for Reels, 500 MB for LinkedIn, 1 GB for Facebook, 2 GB for YouTube through PostOneGo.
  • Aspect ratio: Instagram photos must sit between 4:5 and 1.91:1. LinkedIn video between 1:2.4 and 2.4:1.

Some things can only be checked by the platform itself, such as codec details. If a file passes here and a platform still rejects it, PostOneGo shows the platform's own error on the post.
