Meta limits the type of content that can be auto-posted to Threads. These limits are the same across the board for all scheduling tools, including Plann, and unfortunately, we don't make or mess with the rules!

Here are the main details you need to pay attention to, to make sure your account and content are following the rules and that your posts will be successfully published.

    • Minimum Width: 320 (will be scaled up to the minimum if necessary)

    • Maximum Width: 1440 (will be scaled down to the maximum if necessary)

Video Limitations:

For videos, you'll need to make sure that your content fits these specs:

  • Container: MOV or MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)
