Facebook Stories are 1080×1920 pixels with a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio — identical to Instagram Stories. Stories display full-screen on mobile and are visible for 24 hours. Image stories display for 5 seconds; video stories can be up to 60 seconds.
- •Use 1080×1920px (9:16) — the same dimensions as Instagram Stories for easy cross-posting.
- •Keep critical content within the center 1080×1520 area to avoid being covered by UI elements.
- •Video stories auto-play muted — use text overlays or captions to convey your message without audio.
What you need to know
Facebook Stories use the same 1080×1920 (9:16) format as Instagram Stories, which makes cross-posting straightforward. In fact, you can share Instagram Stories directly to Facebook Stories from the Instagram app. The visual behavior is nearly identical — full-screen vertical on mobile, with UI overlays at the top and bottom.
The top ~200px is overlaid with your profile picture, name, and timestamp. The bottom ~200px shows the reply bar and forward/reaction buttons. Keep all critical text and visuals within the center 1080×1520 safe zone. Stories that aren't 9:16 will be letterboxed or zoomed to fill the screen.
Facebook Stories appear at the top of the News Feed on mobile and in a sidebar on desktop. They're visible for 24 hours and can be saved to Story Highlights (similar to Instagram). Video stories auto-play with sound off, so add captions or text overlays for viewers who don't unmute.
