What are YouTube Video Dimensions?

[AngieMacal]

Hi, I’m trying to upload videos and want to know the correct YouTube video dimensions. Can someone explain what YouTube video dimensions are and why they matter for quality and display?

The usual YouTube video size are based on resolution:

1080p (Full HD): 1920 x 1080 pixels.

720p (HD) is 1280 x 720 pixels.

480p (SD) is 854 × 480 pixels.

4K (Ultra HD): 3840 x 2160 pixels.

8K resolution: 7680 × 4320 pixels.

YouTube's default aspect ratio is 16:9, which ensures that videos appear correctly on most screens.

YouTube video dimensions refer to the resolution and aspect ratio used for uploading videos. The standard aspect ratio is 16:9, with common dimensions like 1920x1080 (1080p), 1280x720 (720p), and 3840x2160 (4K). Vertical videos use 9:16 for mobile viewing. Ensuring the correct dimensions helps maintain video quality and proper display across all devices.
