Recommended settings for an Etsy listing video

Use MP4. Keep it short. Make the product easy to see. ListingVid handles the export settings for you.

Make the video from photos

Use MP4 for the export

Etsy accepts several formats. MP4 is the safest choice, and it is what ListingVid exports.

Choose square for detail, portrait for presence

Square works well when the product fills the frame. Use portrait when scale, packaging, or a styled scene matters. Compare aspect ratios.

Plan for silent playback

Etsy removes audio after upload. The video should work without music or captions.

Quick tips

No editing required
Upload photos and get a video back. No timeline editor.
Use your existing photos
Your listing photos are enough.
No sound needed
Etsy removes audio, so the video only needs to show the product.

Common upload fixes

Etsy rejects the file

Check the size, length, and format. MP4 under 100MB is the safest target.

The product looks tiny

Crop tighter or use square format so the product fills more of the frame.

The video feels too fast

Use fewer photos so each shot has time on screen.

A simple product-photo video plan

If you are starting from listing photos, use this order. It gives buyers context without making the video feel busy. You can also turn product photos into a video with ListingVid.

  1. Photo 1: clean hero image with the whole item visible
  2. Photo 2: angled view to show shape and depth
  3. Photo 3: close-up of texture, material, or craftsmanship
  4. Photo 4: scale shot near a hand, shelf, package, or styled prop
  5. Photo 5: packaging or in-use shot if it helps buyers picture ownership

Turn your product photos into the file Etsy needs

Use your existing listing photos. Download a silent MP4, then upload it to your listing.
