Facebook feed videos work best at 1920×1080 pixels (16:9 landscape) for traditional video or 1080×1920 (9:16 vertical) for mobile-first content. Videos can be up to 240 minutes long with a maximum file size of 10GB. Use MP4 with H.264 encoding for the best quality and fastest processing.
- •Use 9:16 vertical (1080×1920) for mobile feed if you want the video to fill the screen cleanly.
- •Add captions — many Facebook videos are watched with sound off, and captions also improve accessibility.
- •Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds with eye-catching visuals since videos auto-play muted in the feed.
What you need to know
Facebook supports video uploads in a wide range of aspect ratios, from ultra-wide 16:9 to vertical 9:16. The choice depends on your content strategy: 16:9 landscape is best for Watch tab, embedded shares, and desktop viewing. 9:16 vertical is a better fit for mobile-first viewing in the feed.
Feed videos auto-play muted as users scroll, so the opening seconds and on-screen text matter. Clear framing, readable overlays, and captions help viewers understand the video quickly even when sound is off.
The maximum video length is 240 minutes (4 hours) with a 10GB file size limit. In practice, shorter videos are easier to consume in the feed, while longer videos are better suited to dedicated viewing contexts such as Facebook Watch. Use MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio for the fastest processing and best quality retention.
