Facebook Video Length Tips

Facebook Reels support up to 15 minutes

Facebook Reels can be up to 15 minutes long. However, Reels under 90 seconds receive the most distribution. Short, punchy content works best in the Reels feed.

Feed videos can run up to 240 minutes

Standard Facebook feed videos can be up to 240 minutes (4 hours) long. For organic reach, keep feed videos between 1 and 3 minutes to maintain viewer retention.

Stories last 120 seconds per segment

Each Facebook Story clip can be up to 120 seconds long, which is double the length of Instagram Stories. Use this extra time for more detailed behind-the-scenes or announcement content.

Front-load your key message

Facebook auto-plays videos on mute in the feed. The first 3 seconds must visually communicate your topic. Add captions and use bold visuals to grab scrolling viewers.

Keep upload files under 10GB

Facebook allows video files up to 10GB with a maximum length of 240 minutes. Use MP4 format with H.264 encoding at 1080p for the best balance of quality and file size.
