Quora Specifications & Size Guide

Profile Assets

Profile Photo

Profile Header Image

In-Content Image Specs

Answer / Post Inline Image

Dimensions	Max ~1200 px wide (one third-party guide instead cites 800×600); Quora auto-resizes to column width regardless of upload size
Max File Size	10 MB
File Formats	JPG, PNG, GIF
Notes	Images embedded in answer body; resized automatically to fit column width. Could not confirm exact max width/file size against two independent official sources — kept prior figures as best estimate

Space Cover Image

Dimensions	Banner ~1200-1600 × 400 px (Quora Help Center states a 1:4 ratio); Space icon/logo 500 × 500 px recommended
Aspect Ratio	1:4 (per Quora Help Center); some third-party guides list 3:1 (1500×500) — not officially confirmed at that exact size
Max File Size	5 MB
File Formats	JPG, PNG
Notes	Header ('Cover Photo') for Quora Spaces; separate 500×500 px Space icon also required. Quora's own Help Center article gives only a ratio (1:4), not exact pixel dimensions, so treat pixel figures as best-effort estimates

Text & Character Limits

Answer

Character Limit	No hard limit characters
Notes	Long-form answers supported; first ~200 characters visible in feed before 'Read more'

Question

Character Limit	300 characters
Notes	300-character figure is corroborated by a Quora-hosted discussion thread title ("Quora's 300 character limit on question details") but not by an official, dated Quora Help Center spec page — could not be confirmed against two independent authoritative sources, kept as best-available figure. Note this limit applies to the question's additional detail/description field; the question title itself may have a separate, shorter limit that could not be verified

Character Limit

300 characters

Notes

300-character figure is corroborated by a Quora-hosted discussion thread title ("Quora's 300 character limit on question details") but not by an official, dated Quora Help Center spec page — could not be confirmed against two independent authoritative sources, kept as best-available figure. Note this limit applies to the question's additional detail/description field; the question title itself may have a separate, shorter limit that could not be verified

Bio / Credentials

Character Limit	80 characters
Notes	Short credential shown inline next to name on each answer. Sources disagree: a Quora user-discussion thread references an "80 character limit" for topic bios, while a third-party bio-preview tool (laymanseo.com) states ~120 characters for the credential line. Neither is an official dated Quora spec page; kept existing 80-char figure but flagging the discrepancy as unresolved

Full Profile Description

Character Limit	1,000 characters

Space Post

Character Limit	No hard limit characters
Notes	Posts in Spaces support rich text and embedded media

Ad Specs

Text Ad — Headline

Character Limit	65 characters

Text Ad — Body

Character Limit	105 characters

Image Ad

Dimensions	Flexible — Quora now accepts a range of common ad sizes rather than one fixed dimension; recommended minimum width 580 px
Aspect Ratio	Recommended 16:9 to 4:5 (Quora auto-pads images outside this range to fit each placement)
Max File Size	5 MB (per third-party 2026 guide; not stated on Quora's own spec pages, so treat as approximate)
File Formats	JPG, PNG
Notes	Quora expanded Image Ad specs (business.quora.com/resources/quora-ads-image-sizes) to accept a broader range of sizes so advertisers can reuse creative from other platforms — no longer restricted to 1200×628 / 1080×1080. Headline 65 chars max, body 105 chars max, business name 40 chars max. Company logo: 500 × 500 px (PNG/JPG), displayed as a circle

Promoted Answer

Notes	Existing Quora answers boosted in relevant feed positions; no image/video creative required. Business name 40 chars max, logo 500×500 px; recommended answer length ~200-300 words (no hard character cap)

App Install Ad

Notes	Not a standalone creative format — an app-install call-to-action and deep link can be appended to Image Ads, Text Ads, Video Ads, or Promoted Answers to drive Android/iOS installs. No separate dimension/character specs beyond the base ad format used.

Video Specs

Answer Embedded Video

Max File Size	500 MB (unable to confirm the exact MB cap against an official, dated Quora source — flagged as uncertain)
File Formats	MP4
Notes	Native video upload is available via the video-camera icon in the answer editor (confirms it is not link-only, contradicting some outdated forum claims that Quora only supports YouTube/Vimeo embeds); H.264 recommended; YouTube/Vimeo links also still accepted. Exact file-size ceiling could not be verified against two independent current sources — kept at prior value pending better confirmation

Video Ad

Aspect Ratio	16:9
Max File Size	70 MB max, ≤30fps
File Formats	MP4, MOV
Resolution	1280 × 720 px recommended (minimum 640 × 360 px, maximum 1920 × 1080 px)
Max Duration	3 – 60 seconds (not 15–30s as previously listed)
Notes	Managed via Quora Ads Manager (business.quora.com/advertising/video-ads); headline 65 chars max, description 105 chars max, business name 40 chars max, logo 500×500 px
