According to Facebook video specifications above, you can’t post a video on Facebook in 4K resolution. In fact, Facebook only supports SD and HD if available for a video upload. What are SD, HD, and 4K? What’s the difference?
• SD refers to standard definition. It includes video resolutions at or below 480p.
• HD videos are high-definition videos of at least 1280x720 or 1920x1080 pixels, but less than that of a 4K image.
• 4K, also known as Ultra high definition, often comes with a 3840x2160 resolution, which is exactly four times the pixels of full HD displays (1920x1080 pixels).
SD, HD, and 4K displays have different video resolutions/pixels. Though there’s no direct way to upload 4K to Facebook, you can downscale the video to SD or HD to post your 4K content. For that, an efficient video scaler is required. Get the highly recommended 4K video scaler or learn more details below.
