Meta: Stories & Reels

Geaux Grow can run your standard image and video 1:1 square assets in Stories and Reels placements. If you'd like to provide vertical 9:16 assets instead, keep the following additional requirements in mind.

Stories

Consider leaving roughly 14% (250 pixels) of the top and 20% (340 pixels) of the bottom of the video free from text, logos, or other key creative elements, to avoid covering them with the profile icon or call-to-action. Learn more in Meta's guidance on text overlays and safe zones.

Text fields (headline and primary text) don't show up when you use a 9:16 asset for Stories, so you'll need to add your message as a text overlay directly on the image asset.

See Meta's best practices guide for more.

Reels

Reels ads should NOT contain:

  • Licensed music — use original audio or royalty-free music from Meta's Sound Collection instead
  • Media that has a face or camera effect
  • Media with a GIF
  • Media with product tags
  • Videos that contain edit lists or special boxes in file containers

Consider leaving roughly 14% of the top, 35% of the bottom, and 6% on each side of your asset free from text, logos, or other key creative elements, to avoid covering them with the profile icon or call-to-action. Learn more in Meta's guidance on text overlays and safe zones.
