- What is the facebook maximum video size?
Facebook allows uploading a video with maximum size and time length of 1.75GB and 45 minutes respectively. In case, if you wish to go beyond 1gig video, then 1080HD upload must be limited to a maximum of 8Mbps and for a file with 720HD, 4Mbps is the maximum bitrate.

If you have a video file to be shared on Facebook that is larger in size than the supported limit, resizing video for Facebook is an ideal solution. There are a number of software available to compress the video files and here we recommend UniConverter.

You can compress videos by changing its parameters like size, quality, and resolution. The compression process results without losing any quality.
