Instagram Video Ad Specs
Instagram Video Ads Best Practices
When creating video content for Instagram Ads, it is important to follow best practices with regard to the video format. Note that Instagram video ads display alongside regular Instagram videos in the feed and in Stories. Therefore, the length and specs are the same for ads as for regular videos.
Instagram Feed Video Length And Specs
Videos in the Instagram feed can be up to 1-minute long. You will be able to upload videos that are longer than a minute. However, you’ll need to select a 1-minute section to share in the feed.
The full specs for Instagram feed videos are as follows:
Size: 4GB maximum
File format: .MOV and .MP4 recommended (all accepted file types)
Length: 1 minute maximum
Minimum width: 500 pixels
Ratios: 1:1 for square (600 x 600 recommended), 1.9:1 for horizontal (600 x 315 recommended, 4:5 for in-feed vertical (600 x 750 recommended)
Instagram Story Video Length And Specs
