Carbonmade beautifully showcases your videos on phones, tablets, desktops and in older browsers. Plus, we support full screen playback in modern browsers.
We accept most major video codecs but for best results we recommend that you export your videos with the following settings:
We recommend h.264 / mp4 codec and at least 48khz audio sample rate.
Preferred Settings
While we accept most major video codecs, we recommend encoding your videos using the H.264/MPEG-4 video codec and AAC-LC audio codec. Select the high profile option if you have it and don't skimp on the bitrate. A bigger file will take longer to upload but will pay off big time when we optimize your videos to look their best on any screen.
What formats are supported?
We support: FLV, F4V, MOV, M4V, MP4, MPG, OGG, WEBM, WMV, and QT files.
What is the file size limit?
We support videos up to 30 minutes in duration and 2GB in size.
