Bluesky post limits,
and what Velocity does with each.
Velocity counts a Bluesky post's length when you schedule it and shrinks images to Bluesky's size limit, so posts aren't rejected for size when they go out.
| Spec | BlueskyThe limit | VelocityWhat it does |
|---|---|---|
| Post length | 300 characters and 3,000 bytes | SupportedCounts characters the way Bluesky does when you schedule. The agent writes to 280. |
| Images | Up to 4 per post | SupportedAttach up to 4 photos or Velocity designs to one post. |
| Image file size | About 1 MB per image | SupportedResizes to 2,000 px on the long edge and compresses to JPEG for you. |
| Video | One per post, up to about 100 MB | SupportedUploads MP4, MOV or WebM through Bluesky's video service. Video can't share a post with images. |
| Links | Clickable only when the app marks them | SupportedEvery http or https link in the text becomes clickable. |
| Link preview cards | Built by the posting app | SupportedBuilds a card from the page's title, description and image when the post has no media. |
| Mentions | @handle tags a person | SupportedLooks up each @handle so the mention links to the right account. |
| Hashtags | #tag in the text | SupportedTags each hashtag. The agent uses 0 to 3 per post. |
| Analytics | Public counts for followers, likes, reposts and replies | SupportedTracks your followers, likes, reposts and replies in Velocity's analytics, from Pro. |
Bluesky counts characters as graphemes, so an emoji counts as one. Video and images can't be mixed in one post. See publishing
How to schedule a Bluesky post.
Three steps.
Bluesky connects with an app password instead of a sign-in popup. It takes a minute and you only do it once.
- 01
Connect Bluesky with an app password
Create an app password in Bluesky under Settings, then Privacy and Security, then App Passwords. In Velocity, open your brand's Connections card, choose Connect next to Bluesky, and enter your handle and the app password.
- 02
Ask the agent for the post
Tell the agent what to say and when, or let it draft from your Brand Identity. It writes under 300 characters, can add images or a video, and shows you a preview.
- 03
Velocity publishes it
Publish now or schedule a time in your time zone. The post sits on your content calendar until it goes out, and you can edit or move it until then.

- Velocity checks your handle and app password with Bluesky once
- Only the session Bluesky issues is saved, never the app password
- Velocity refreshes the session so scheduled posts keep publishing
