Facebook Reel Size
A Facebook Reel is 1080 × 1920 px at a 9:16 vertical ratio, up to 90 seconds long. The frame matches Instagram Reels exactly, so the same export serves both. Facebook stacks the like, comment, and share buttons along the right edge and prints the caption, page name, and audio attribution across the bottom, which together consume more of the frame than a Story does.

Design Tips
- →Keep faces and product detail within the central 1080 × 1420 px. The action rail on the right takes about 200 px and the caption block at the bottom takes about 350 px on a full caption.
- →Facebook Reels and Instagram Reels use identical dimensions and duration limits. Export once at 1080 × 1920 and cross-post rather than re-rendering.
- →Open on the subject. Reels are ranked heavily on watch-through, and a title card burns the first second — the exact moment the viewer decides whether to keep scrolling.
- →Burn in captions rather than relying on auto-generated ones. Auto-captions are placed by Facebook and often land directly on top of your own lower-third text.

What size is a Facebook Reel?+
1080 × 1920 pixels at a 9:16 aspect ratio, up to 90 seconds and 4 GB. This matches Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, so a single vertical export can be published across all four.
What is the Facebook Reels safe zone?+
Roughly the central 1080 × 1420 px. The right 200 px carries the like, comment, and share rail; the bottom 350 px carries the caption, page name, and audio attribution. Keep text and key subjects inside the safe zone.
How long can a Facebook Reel be?+
Up to 90 seconds. The frame stays 1080 × 1920 px at 9:16 regardless of length. Reels longer than 90 seconds are published as standard video posts instead, which lose the Reels distribution surface.
Can I post the same Reel to Facebook and Instagram?+
Yes. Both use 1080 × 1920 px at 9:16 with the same 90-second limit, and Meta supports direct cross-posting. The action rail and caption sit in slightly different places, so design within the central 1080 × 1420 px for both.
Why is my Facebook Reel blurry?+
Usually a low-resolution source, a weak connection during upload, or exporting at 720 × 1280 px instead of 1080 × 1920 px. Facebook re-encodes every Reel, so a soft source becomes softer. Export at 1080 × 1920 px, 30 fps, on a stable connection.
