The right video format for Facebook

For Facebook videos FrameJet exports 16:9 at 1920 × 1080 pixels, up to 4 hours long. The same shape suits YouTube – one export covers several platforms.

Landscape is a common format for videos on Facebook. A video that is already landscape often only needs a clean output: the right dimensions, no burned-in bars and nothing important under the player’s controls.

If your video has black bars, such as a screen recording, FrameJet removes them automatically before it is output at 1920 × 1080 pixels. If it is portrait, you place the whole picture into landscape with a filled border on the left and right.

As of 12 October 2026. Lengths as stated by the platforms; they change often, and the app is what counts. No figure where the platform does not confirm a limit. "Free of app elements" are guide values from FrameJet’s preview – no platform publishes its overlay exactly.

Covered edges at 1080p

Covered: 43 px at the top, 130 px at the bottom, 58 px at the left and 58 px at the right. Text and faces belong in the area in between.

Same shape as other platforms

YouTube use the same aspect ratio, 16:9. One export serves all of them.

Upload a preview image

Facebook accepts its own preview image as a file – a still frame at the start of the video is not needed.
