Facebook Video Size
Facebook feed video is 1920 × 1080 px (16:9) at its largest, but the feed itself favours square and portrait. Square video at 1080 × 1080 px occupies 78% more screen height than 16:9 at the same width, and 4:5 portrait at 1080 × 1350 px more still. Facebook accepts up to 4 GB and 240 minutes, with MP4 using H.264 video and AAC audio as the reliable container.

Design Tips
- →Use 1:1 (1080 × 1080 px) or 4:5 (1080 × 1350 px) for feed video rather than 16:9. Landscape video occupies the least vertical space in a vertical scroll and consistently loses watch time to square.
- →Reserve 1920 × 1080 (16:9) for content that will also live on a page's video tab or be embedded off-platform, where the horizontal frame is expected.
- →Burn in captions above the bottom 200 px. Facebook overlays its own controls and the caption text there, and most feed video is watched muted.
- →Export MP4 with H.264 and AAC. Facebook re-encodes every upload, and non-standard codecs add processing time and occasional artefacting without improving the delivered stream.

What is the Facebook video size?+
1920 × 1080 px (16:9) for landscape feed video. Square is 1080 × 1080 px, portrait is 1080 × 1350 px, and Stories and Reels are 1080 × 1920 px. Maximum file size is 4 GB and maximum length is 240 minutes.
What video format and size does Facebook support?+
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is recommended; MOV is also accepted. Resolution up to 4K is supported, file size up to 4 GB, and length up to 240 minutes. Facebook re-encodes all uploads regardless of source quality.
What is the Facebook video size limit?+
4 GB per file and 240 minutes in length. There is no minimum resolution requirement, but uploads below 1080 px wide look soft in feed on modern phone displays, which render the feed at 2× or 3× density.
What aspect ratio performs best for Facebook video?+
Square (1080 × 1080 px) or 4:5 portrait (1080 × 1350 px). Both occupy far more vertical space in a scrolling feed than 16:9 landscape at the same width, which directly increases watch time. Reserve 16:9 for content that will also be embedded off-platform.
Does Facebook video need captions?+
Practically, yes. Most feed video autoplays muted, so a video that depends on audio loses the majority of viewers. Burn captions in above the bottom 200 px, where Facebook's own controls and caption layer sit.
