Add them
The buttons under the text add photos and videos four ways:
- Add photos or video: from your computer, or drag them onto the post.
- From the media library: ones your team used before. The media library.
- Free photos from Unsplash: search, and pick one. The photographer's credit stays with it.
- Design in Canva: connect Canva, then make a design at your post's size, or add one you have. Each page becomes a photo.
A post holds up to 10. Photos can be JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, up to 20 MB each. Videos can be MP4, MOV or WebM.
What each network takes
| Network | In one post | Videos |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 photos and videos, mixed | MP4 or MOV, up to 300 MB, 3 seconds to 15 minutes | |
| Up to 10 photos, or 1 video | MP4 or MOV, up to 1 GB and 20 minutes | |
| Up to 10 photos, or 1 video | MP4, up to 500 MB, 3 seconds to 30 minutes | |
| YouTube | 1 video | Over 15 minutes needs a channel with a verified phone number |
| Up to 5 photos, or 1 video | MP4 or MOV, up to 2 GB, 4 seconds to 15 minutes |
Instagram and Pinterest need a photo or video: they don't take text on its own.
Photo shapes
In Preview, pick each network's shape, such as Square or Portrait, and choose Crop to move what's in the frame. Instagram starts at the shape closest to your first photo, and Pinterest at Tall (1000 × 1500).
Don't want any of it cut off? Turn on Whole photo: the network gets all of each photo, on a blurred copy of itself.
Good to know
- Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest don't play GIFs: they get the first frame.
- Give each photo a Description for screen readers, up to 1,000 characters. Networks read it out to people who can't see it.
