itch.io video specs and requirements
An open marketplace for indie games and tools, where creators design their own pages.
What it is
itch.io lets creators sell or give away games, tools and assets with a lot of freedom over how the page looks. Many indie developers put a video near the top of the page.
What it expects from a video
- Most creators embed a YouTube or Vimeo video on their itch.io page. Direct uploads are possible but itch.io does not publish a specific video spec, so the preset uses a small 720p file that loads quickly.

Tips for product demos
- If you already have a YouTube upload, embedding it is often simpler. Use this preset when you want a file you host yourself.
Official specs
Platforms change their rules from time to time. If a limit matters, check the official page before you upload.
Screen recordings, piece of cake.
Record the demo once. Let Recordcake handle the formats.
