• Optimized Engagement: Properly sized videos fit seamlessly into Facebook's feed, increasing viewer interaction.
• Improved Load Times: Smaller, correctly sized videos load faster, reducing viewer drop-off rates.
• Better Aesthetics: Videos that match Facebook's aspect ratios look more professional and appealing.
• Enhanced Mobile Viewing: Resized videos ensure a better viewing experience on mobile devices, where most users access Facebook.
• Algorithm Favorability: Facebook's algorithm favors videos that are optimized for its platform, potentially boosting your reach.

• Choose the Right Aspect Ratio: Facebook supports landscape (16:9), square (1:1), and vertical (4:5) formats. Select the one that best fits your content.
• Maintain Video Quality: Ensure that resizing does not compromise the video resolution. Aim for at least 720p for optimal clarity.
• Use Descript's Presets: Leverage Descript's pre-set aspect ratios to save time and ensure consistency across your videos.
• Preview Before Publishing: Always preview your resized video to check for any cropping issues or loss of important content.
• Optimize for Mobile: Since most Facebook users are on mobile, consider using square or vertical formats for better engagement.
