Facebook Reels are 1080×1920 pixels in a 9:16 vertical format, identical to Instagram Reels. Reels can be up to 90 seconds long. Cross-posting from Instagram Reels to Facebook Reels is supported natively.
- •Use 1080×1920px (9:16) vertical video so the Reel fills the full screen cleanly.
- •Keep critical content away from the bottom 300px and right 120px where UI elements overlay.
- •Cross-posting from Instagram Reels to Facebook Reels is the easiest way to publish on both platforms.
What you need to know
Facebook Reels share the same 1080×1920 (9:16) format and UI layout as Instagram Reels. The bottom third of the screen is overlaid with the caption, audio information, and action buttons. The right edge has like, comment, share, and remix icons. The effective safe zone for important content is the center of the screen, above the lower third.
Getting the format right is mainly about presentation. Vertical 9:16 video fills the full screen cleanly, while letterboxed or horizontal video looks less native in the Reels feed.
You can cross-post Reels from Instagram to Facebook, or upload natively to Facebook. The specs are identical across both platforms since they share Meta's backend. Use MP4 with H.264 encoding for the fastest processing. The maximum file size is 4GB.
