  • Minimum Size: 320 pixels x 320 pixels
  • Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (square)

Video Posts

  • Recommended Size: 1080 pixels x 1080 pixels
  • Minimum Size: 600 pixels x 315 pixels
  • Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (square), 16:9 (landscape), 9:16 (portrait)
  • Maximum Video Length: 60 minutes (for regular posts), 3 minutes (for Reels)

Carousel Posts

  • Recommended Size: 1080 pixels x 1080 pixels for each image or video in the carousel
  • Minimum Size: 320 pixels x 320 pixels for each image or video in the carousel
