# Turn a tweet into a WhatsApp Status

WhatsApp Status caps at 30 seconds and re-compresses uploads to keep them cheap to deliver, so a short clip with a small file size arrives looking much better than a long one. It also plays vertically full-screen, which makes 9:16 the natural frame.

## How it works

1. Paste the link to the post.
1. Keep the 9:16 canvas and the 3-second length a Status allows.
1. Leave the resolution at 720 so the upload stays quick.
1. Press Render video, then download the MP4.

This page keeps the clip short and the quality setting moderate, which is the right trade when the file is going over mobile data and will be re-compressed on the way. The result is well under the size where WhatsApp starts degrading it noticeably.


## Questions

### How long can a WhatsApp Status video be?

30 seconds. Shorter is better, because WhatsApp compresses harder as the file grows.

### Why is the quality setting lower here?

WhatsApp re-compresses the upload anyway. A moderate setting sends faster on mobile data and ends up looking the same after their processing.

### Can I send this as a normal WhatsApp message too?

Yes. The same MP4 sends as a regular video message with no changes.
