​
Supported Formats

Snipp supports a range of image and video formats for uploading and sharing.

​
Images

​
Video

All uploaded videos are automatically remuxed to MP4 with the moov atom moved to the start of the file (faststart). This allows browsers to begin playback before the full file has downloaded. .mov and .mkv uploads are stored as .mp4 after processing, and the share URL reflects the new extension. If remuxing fails, the original file is stored unchanged as a fallback.

​
Discord Bot Uploads

The Snipp Discord bot is invite-only. Add it to your server or as a user app from snipp.gg/bot. There is no HTTP endpoint for the bot. The bot accepts images only (.png, .jpg, .webp, .gif). Videos are not supported through the bot. Upload those from the web uploader or the /upload endpoint.

​
File Size Limits

Maximum file size depends on your plan: Plus and Enterprise have no per-file cap. Individual uploads are only bounded by your weekly quota (20 GB on Plus, 50 GB on Enterprise). The absolute upload limit is 50 GB per file. Files larger than your plan’s limit return a 413 error.
Videos have a hard ceiling of 30 GB per file on Plus and Enterprise; larger videos are rejected. Free accounts are still bound by the 50 MB per-file cap above.
Upgrading to Plus removes the 50 MB per-file cap. Upload anything up to your full weekly quota in a single file.

​
Unsupported Files

If you upload a file with an unsupported format, the API returns a 400 error:

​
Reserved Marker

Files that begin with an internal encryption marker are rejected by the upload endpoint. If you encounter this error, the file may be corrupted or use a reserved byte sequence. Try re-exporting the file from its original source.
