# Upload times for videos

The time it takes to upload a video depends on two factors:

1. The **size of the file**.
2. The **upload speed** of your internet connection (note that this is often much slower than your download speed).

You can check your upload speed using a tool such as **Speedtest**. Once you know your upload speed, you can estimate your upload time here.
