# Uploading Content

> Upload Drops and Videos to your Studio from mobile or web. Circo supports resumable uploads so you never lose progress mid-upload.

Uploading content to Circo is designed to be reliable even on slower connections. Whether you're uploading a 30-second Drop or a 30-minute Video, Circo handles network interruptions and device changes without making you start over.

## Supported formats

Circo accepts the following video file formats:

| Format | Notes                                                   |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| MP4    | Recommended for best playback quality and compatibility |
| MOV    | Supported; may require additional processing time       |

<Note>
  For the best results, export your videos in MP4 format before uploading. This ensures the fastest processing and highest playback quality for your viewers.
</Note>

## Content size limits

* **Drops**: Up to 5 minutes
* **Videos**: Up to 30 minutes per clip

## Resumable uploads

Large file uploads can be interrupted by poor connections, app closures, or switching networks. Circo's resumable upload system means you never have to start over.

### How resumable uploads work

* When you start uploading, Circo saves your progress in the background
* If your connection drops, the app closes, or you switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, the upload pauses automatically
* When you return to the app, Circo picks up exactly where it left off — no data wasted, no time lost

<Tip>
  Keep the app open and in the foreground while uploading for the fastest results. Switching to another app may pause the upload temporarily.
</Tip>

## Tips for smooth uploads

* Use a strong Wi-Fi connection (4G or higher) when uploading large files
* Keep your Circo app updated to the latest version
* Larger videos may take additional time to process after the upload completes — Circo will notify you once your content is ready to publish
* If an upload gets stuck after multiple attempts, restart the app and retry. If the problem persists, contact support with a screenshot

<Warning>
  If you switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data mid-upload, the transfer may pause briefly before resuming. This is expected behavior — Circo will resume automatically once the connection stabilizes.
