Keeping a product video under 1 GB
Shopify takes product videos up to 10 minutes, 1 GB and 4K (4096 × 2160). A long demo filmed in 4K is where the size limit bites; the button sets the save window to stay under it, and Shycut picks the quality that fits.
Shopify states no shape, so the button keeps your video as filmed. If your theme suits a square or vertical frame, choose it in the editor’s Size tab before saving.
What the button sets up
- Your video’s own shape
- Shopify states no shape, so the video stays as filmed.
- Its length, checked as you trim
- The Size tab says whether your edit is a length it takes: up to 10 min. The save window says it again before anything is made.
- Kept under 1 GB
- The save window aims the file under that size and steps the picture down only if it has to.
- On your device
- The video opens in this browser tab and is made there. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no size limit on the original.

Questions
What is the maximum video size on Shopify?
1 GB per video, up to 10 minutes long and up to 4K, according to Shopify’s help centre.
Will the size limit lower the quality?
Only if your video would be larger. Shycut aims under 1 GB and keeps the quality it would use anyway when the file fits.
Does the video leave my computer?
Not until you upload it to Shopify yourself. Shycut makes the file in your browser.
Your video stays with you.
Open Shycut, drop the video in and export. Free, with no account, and your video never leaves your device.
