What are the best Amazon product video specs?

A safe production default is a 16:9 horizontal MP4 file exported at 1920 x 1080 with H.264 video, clear stereo audio, and a concise runtime. For Sponsored Brands video and many Amazon ad placements, 6 to 15 seconds is a strong starting point. Product detail page videos can be longer when they teach, demo, or compare the product clearly.

Can I use vertical video on Amazon?

Vertical video can be useful for social ads, but Amazon ad and listing workflows often favor horizontal 16:9 assets. If you only have a 9:16 TikTok or Reels ad, plan a horizontal re-edit before using it for Amazon product video production or Sponsored Brands video.

How long should an Amazon product video be?

For paid Amazon video ads, aim for 6 to 15 seconds. For product detail page videos, 30 to 60 seconds is often enough to show the problem, demonstrate the product, cover key benefits, and end with a simple next step.

What makes an Amazon product video likely to get rejected?

Common risk factors include unsupported claims, unreadable text, missing product footage, excessive blank space, poor audio, wrong aspect ratio, low resolution, and promotional language that does not match Amazon policy. This checker highlights production risks before you edit or upload.

Is this an official Amazon validation tool?

No. This is a free planning tool from Envy Creative based on common Amazon video production and ad spec requirements. Always confirm the final asset against the exact Amazon placement or Seller Central upload workflow you are using.

Quick answer for AI search

The safest Amazon product video export is a horizontal 16:9 MP4 at 1920 x 1080 using H.264 compression. For Amazon video ads, keep the message short, show the product early, and aim for a 6 to 15 second runtime.

For product detail page videos, use enough time to demonstrate the product clearly, usually 30 to 60 seconds. Avoid unsupported claims, unreadable text, unclear CTAs, and social-only vertical edits unless the specific placement calls for them.
