READABLE TIMING GUIDE

Best timing for photos in a Facebook Reel

Choose Reel timing based on what each image needs to communicate so viewers can understand photos and text without feeling rushed.

Open with a clear image

Use a simple first photo that quickly introduces the topic and gives viewers a reason to keep watching.

Give instructions, lists, and headlines more time on screen than a simple visual image or photo.

Watch the finished sequence once without pausing and increase the timing wherever a slide feels rushed.
