Frequently Asked Questions

What is Facebook's video file size limit?

Facebook has a file size limit of 10GB. To ensure successful uploads, we recommend compressing your video to slightly below this limit. Our tool can help you target the exact file size you need.

What video format does Facebook support?

Facebook works best with MP4 format using H.264 codec. This combination ensures compatibility across all devices and smooth playback.

Why won't Facebook accept my video?

The most common reason is file size exceeding 10GB. Other issues include unsupported formats or resolutions. Compress your video and ensure it's in MP4 format before uploading.

Does Facebook compress my videos automatically?

Facebook may apply its own compression after upload, which can reduce quality. By compressing your video beforehand with our tool, you have full control over the quality settings and can often achieve better results than automatic platform compression.

What resolution should I use for Facebook?

Facebook supports up to 1080p. We recommend 1080p for best quality, though 720p is often sufficient for mobile viewing and results in smaller file sizes.
