Why muted-first matters
Product Hunt's gallery autoplays without sound as people scan the feed on launch day. If your message depends on a voiceover, most hunters will never get it. Put the hook and the key benefit in on-screen text, and treat audio as a bonus. This is the same rule behind the anatomy of a launch video that converts.
Nail the first 5 seconds
The gallery is crowded and attention is short. Open on the payoff — the finished result, the saved time, the wow moment — not a logo animation. You can earn the branding at the end. For the full launch-day playbook, see the Product Hunt launch video guide.
How to make a Product Hunt video that fits
You don't need After Effects or a 1270×760 template. Describe your product to Maybe Labs, pick the launch format, and it generates an on-brand, captioned video sized for the gallery — then you can cut it into social clips for the launch-day push. Keep it to 45–60 seconds; see how long a launch video should be.
Product Hunt video FAQ
What size should a Product Hunt video be?
1270×760 pixels, matching the gallery (about a 1.67:1 landscape ratio). A standard 16:9 video also displays well.
How long should a Product Hunt launch video be?
45–60 seconds. Long enough to show the product in action, short enough that hunters finish it.
Does a Product Hunt video need sound?
No — the gallery autoplays muted, so design for sound-off with captions and on-screen text, and treat audio as optional.
Can I use a YouTube video in my Product Hunt gallery?
Yes, you can add a hosted video link to the gallery. Keep the dimensions and length within the recommendations above so it displays cleanly.
