Formats and limits

## Different formats, different rules.

OpenPost checks the text and media rules for the format you choose.

| Format | Text | Media |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Post, thread, or link | 300 characters | Text or a rich link card |
| Image post | 300 characters | 1-4 JPEG, PNG, or WebP images |
| Video | 300 characters | 1 MP4 video, up to 100 MB |

### Provider limits and scope

- 300 characters
- Up to 4 images or 1 MP4 video
- AT Protocol replies
- Video cannot be mixed with images

Connect and test

## Set up Bluesky in three checks.

1. Create an app password in Bluesky account settings.
1. Connect with your handle and that app password, not your main password.
1. Publish a test if you plan to use video or rich links.

Known limits

## What can still block a post.

- Video must be MP4 and cannot be combined with images.
- App passwords can be revoked independently from the main account password.
- Bluesky may need time to process a video after upload.

**Account requirement:** A Bluesky handle and a dedicated app password.

**Verification:** Text and image posts work in OpenPost. Test video with the account before a scheduled campaign.

## Use the current callback address, permissions, and media setup.

Social network developer pages change. The OpenPost guide lists the settings and checks you need now.
