Facebook video settings
Facebook accepts most files, but it works best with MP4 or MOV using H.264 and AAC, up to 1080p. This preset scales larger videos down to 1080p, keeps the aspect ratio, and puts the index at the start of the file so uploads start processing immediately.
Good to know
Output is MP4 with H.264 video (yuv420p, the colour format every player supports), AAC stereo at 48 kHz, and the index moved to the start of the file so playback and uploads begin immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make it square or vertical for Facebook Reels?
Use Resize Video for Instagram; Facebook Reels use the same 9:16 and 4:5 sizes.
Is the Convert Video for Facebook Upload free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Files up to 1 GB each can be converted, and there is no daily limit.
Do you keep a copy of my files?
We never receive them. All processing happens on your device, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in Safari, Chrome and other modern mobile browsers. Short files work best on phones; for long or high-resolution videos a computer is faster.
