How to Convert Video to Facebook with iOrgSoft Video Converter

Step 1Add Targeted Video to the Converter

After you launch the video converter, please add the video that you attempt to upload to Facebook but can't due to incompatible issue to the Video Converter. To import video, you can simply drag and drop it to the main working place or you can select it by clicking the "Add File" button. You are allowed to add multiple files at one time and merge them into a single one if needed.

Step 2Choose Suitable Output Format

Next, please move on by selecting proper output format. Facebook recommends using MP4 format. So you might as well choose MP4 as the output format. To get the output format list, please click the "Profile" option list. You'll find the output formats are grouped and optimized by format and device. So, you can choose MP4 from "Common Video" category or from "Web Share" category. We suggest you choose "Web share">"Facebook (*.mp4)".

To quickly find the Facebook MP4, you can type MP4 or Facebook on the searching box on top left corner of the output format list.

After choose the MP4 output format, optionally, you can adjust the video resolution, frame rate, and bit rate by clicking the "Settings" button next to the "Profile".

If your video is too large, you can shorten it by clicking the "Trim" button where you can extract your favorite parts from the whole video. And it allows you to merge the trimmed segments into a new one.

Step 3Start Converting Video to Facebook MP4

Finally, please press the conversion icon on the main interface to start converting video to MP4 for Facebook uploading. When finishes, you'll get a notification to open the file folder. You can directly upload the converted video to Facebook successfully.
