How to Make Facebook Slideshow

How to make a slideshow for Facebook

With the Online Slideshow Maker by Clideo you can not only combine your files into one video but also adjust it to the post type you are planning to make. So, before you start creating, you should know some video sizes and specs:

Facebook Feed

First of all, decide on what orientation it will be: landscape or portrait. Hence the aspect ratio can be 16:9 and 9:16 respectively. In the tool you will be able to select the necessary one, zoom and crop the slideshow to the size or just fit with border in order not to lose any part of the image. The maximum length of video post for Facebook Feed is 120 minutes.
Facebook Stories

Here there is only one option for aspect ratio — 9:16. Don’t worry if your video is recorded horizontally, you still can post it with the top and bottom borders added. The length limit is 15 seconds.
Facebook Video Cover

The best option of aspect ratio here is 16:9 because otherwise Facebook will crop your cover unpredictably. Our tool will help you zoom and crop or fit the missing parts with borders. For best results, the slideshow should be 820 x 462 pixels.

The permitted length is from 20 to 90 seconds. If you have created a slideshow shorter than 20 seconds, you can go to the Online Video Looper by Clideo and loop it to make it longer.

Make sure to create a slideshow for Facebook no longer than the limits described above if you do not want to lose the ending after posting.

The maximum file size is 4GB for every option. The recommended formats are MP4 or MOV — our tool allows you to select an output format before saving the result.

Now, follow the three easy steps below:

If you’d like to have smooth transitions in the slideshow, check the Crossfade box. Note that if you don’t see the box you should scroll down the right part of the editor.
