How to upload a Powtoon as a Facebook cover video

Facebook cover videos have specific size and duration requirements. To upload a Powtoon as your Facebook cover video, you need to export it as an MP4 file using settings that meet those requirements before uploading to Facebook.

Facebook cover video requirements

Before you export, confirm your Powtoon meets Facebook's cover video specifications:

• Dimensions: Minimum 820 x 312 pixels. Facebook's recommended size is 820 x 462 pixels.
• Duration: Between 20 and 90 seconds.

If your Powtoon does not meet these requirements, Facebook may reject the upload or crop the video unexpectedly.

How to export your Powtoon for Facebook cover video

1. Open the Powtoon you want to use as your Facebook cover video in Powtoon Studio.
2. Confirm the Powtoon's dimensions are set to at least 820 x 312 pixels — Facebook recommends 820 x 462 pixels.
3. Confirm the total duration is between 20 and 90 seconds.
4. Export the Powtoon as an MP4 file. See Downloading your Powtoon as an MP4 file for full export steps, including which quality setting to select.
5. Once the MP4 file has downloaded, go to your Facebook profile or page and upload it as your cover video.
