Low video quality after upload on YouTube

Published on 03.07.2025 by Tracey Chizoba Fletcher

Low video quality affects a lot of creators on the platform. There are various reasons why a video might end up that way. Low quality of a video will definitely have an affect on your outreach on Youtube. It might affect you so much that you might never reach your full potential. To reach your full potential, use YouTube services and upload high quality videos. In this guide we will go over all the reasons why low video quality occurs after upload.

 

 

Low video quality after upload

When you upload a video, it will initially be processed in much lower quality than what you have uploaded. This general process helps you complete the upload process faster. When the upload flow is complete,you video will be available to stream in low quality first on quite a wide variety of devices. On the other hand the higher quality videos, such as 4K or 1080P resolutions can take much more time to process. While this processing happens, your video may seem to be missing higher qualities for several hours at a time. Once high-resolution processing is finished, higher qualities will be available on your video;

 

About processing time

When it comes to processing time it all depends on many doctors, first comes in the video format, video length and then the frame rate and the general quality. The higher quality videos like 4k videos and the aforementioned videos of 1080P take longer to both upload and process . The same is true for videos with higher frame rates such as 60fps and higher.

 

Check video quality

Generally just check to see if your video has finished processing in higher qualities, check the video's watch page. To do just that open your video’s watch page and then in the video player select the settings and click on quality. If the higher quality options are unavailable, the video is still processed in the background so there is not much to worry about.

 

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

What if my video is still uploaded in low quality after all the general processing?

Check if your video was processed and rendered in high quality, if the basic quality of your video has been generally lower like 720P, then you will not be able to get higher quality videos
