Say hello to video

New to video ads? With Facebook, you can start simple. Reach your audience with videos created with photos and videos you already have, or with a selection of free stock images.

A few things to try first.

Slideshow

Facebook slideshow ads are video-like ads that use motion, sound and text to tell your story beautifully across devices. They load quickly, so they play well on every connection speed. Unlike some video ads, slideshow ads are quick and affordable to create. You can create a slideshow ad in minutes from desktop or mobile and use it to tell a story that develops over time. You can even create a slideshow ad out of stock images available in the ad creation process, or use an existing video.

If you need to create an immersive experience quickly.

Slideshow ads are easy to make and edit with low production costs, but they have most of the experiential benefits of video.

If you want to make great ads directly from your Page or phone.

Choose from free stock images, rich video-editing tools and a wide range of music.

If you want to simplify a complex process or narrative.

When walking people through sequences or steps, images can help you show rather than tell.

If you need to reach people with slower connections.

Slideshow ads use five times less data than videos. You can use a slideshow version of your video ads in markets where people have slower connections and older devices.
