  • Upgrade your plan - Get more storage
  • Photo Quality & Size

    Mimentum automatically:
  • Preserves original photos

  • Creates optimized thumbnails

  • Compresses previews for fast loading
  • Maximum upload size is a per-gallery setting, not a plan limit. The default is
    10 MB per file, and you can change it in your gallery settings.

    Supported Formats

  • MP4, MOV, WebM

  • Length is set per gallery: 30 seconds by default, and can be set anywhere between

  • 10 and 60 seconds. A minimum length also applies (3 seconds by default).

    Video Processing

    After upload, videos are:
  • Transcoded for web playback

  • Thumbnail generated

  • Made available in multiple qualities
  • Turning video uploads on or off

    Guest video uploads are enabled by default and are controlled per gallery, not by
    plan. Turn them off in gallery settings if you only want photos.
