# Facebook video

We recommend Facebook video in 1:1 at 1080 x 1080 pixels and 25 frames per second. Upload subtitles as a file, and keep your own text out of the bottom fifth, where Facebook shows them.

Platform: Facebook. Ratio: 1:1. Size: 1080 x 1080 pixels. These are Avola Media's own recommendations, not platform specifications.

## Specification

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Recommended | 1080 x 1080 pixels |
| Minimum | Not published |
| Frame rate | 25 frames per second |
| Subtitles | As a file, shown by the platform |
| Shown as | In the feed, starting without sound |
| File size | Up to 4 gigabytes |

## Notes

- Facebook shows the subtitles at the bottom center of the video.
- Video starts without sound, so the first seconds should make sense without it.

## Exact areas

All positions are in pixels from the top left corner of the 1080 x 1080 pixel frame. A picture that overlaps an edge can have its centre outside the frame.

- The platform's own subtitles: x 108, y 840, 864 x 171 pixels.
