What each row costs
Rough figures for a one-minute clip of ordinary gameplay. A static talking-head stream comes in well under these; a fast shooter runs over them.
| Row | Pixels | One minute | Worth it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p60 | 1920 × 1080 | 25–40 MB | A monitor, and motion |
| 720p60 | 1280 × 720 | 12–20 MB | A phone, and most reposts |
| 480p | 854 × 480 | 5–8 MB | Speech, or saving data |
Frame rate matters more than resolution here
On gameplay, 720p at 60fps looks better in motion than 1080p at 30. Twitch labels its rows with both, and the higher frame rate is usually the one worth keeping if you have to choose.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my clip only 480p?
Because that is what the streamer broadcast at. No tool adds resolution that was never sent.
