1:1 4 GB JPGPNG MP4MOVGIF 5-15 seconds 3 Medium confidence — verified against reputable sources

Notes & best practice

Ads shown before, during or after Facebook videos and reels; the Help Center now calls this placement Facebook in-stream reels.

The Ads Guide lists 16:9 or 1:1 for video, while Meta's newer placement table recommends 4:5 for video and 1:1 for images, so 1:1 at 1080x1080 px fits both.

Mobile accepts videos up to 10 minutes, but only the first 15 seconds play unless the viewer taps to keep watching.

1:1 30 MB image JPGPNG MP4MOV 4-15 seconds 2 High confidence — confirmed in the official documentation

Notes & best practice

Ads on Facebook Reels run on top of reels: overlay ads show a static 1:1 image as a banner at the bottom or a sticker near the top, and post-loop ads play a 1:1 video after the reel has looped.

Overlay images should be at least 1080x1080 px (300x300 minimum) and exactly 1:1, since the aspect-ratio tolerance is 0%, and Meta advises no text on them.

Post-loop videos are 1440x1440 px and 4 to 15 seconds long.

Notes & best practice

Single-image ad shown full screen between Facebook Reels.

Meta recommends 9:16 at 1440x2560 px, with a minimum width of 600 px and a 3% aspect-ratio tolerance.

Keep text and logos out of the top 14%, the bottom 35% and 6% on each side, where the Reels interface overlays the image.

Keep key content and text inside the safe zone — the platform UI overlaps the top and bottom of full-screen 9:16 creatives.
