How to send a video on GitHub

  1. 1

    Choose your video above — GitHub is already selected.

  2. 2

    If you have a paid GitHub plan, pick it to use the bigger limit.

  3. 3

    Press “Compress video” and download the result.

  4. 4

    Upload it to GitHub as usual.

Common problems

The upload is rejected as too large
Compress the video with the GitHub preset: the result is always checked against the limit.
The video looks blurry
A long video in a small limit gets little data per second. Trim it to the important part first or pick a bigger plan.
The video does not play
SelfKit always saves MP4 (H.264) — it plays on every phone and computer.

GitHub: questions and answers

What is the GitHub file size limit?

The table above lists the limits we compress to. Platforms change them from time to time, and we review them regularly.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. It is processed on your device and stays there until you send it yourself.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in any modern browser on iPhone and Android. You can also install SelfKit as an app.
