What You Can Post to Facebook
Facebook supports more content types than most people use. Knowing your options helps you pick the right format every time.
Types of content (text, images, videos, links, carousels)
Text posts work for quick updates or questions. Image posts drive visual engagement. Video posts generate more watch time and reactions. Link posts auto-pull a preview from any URL. Carousel posts let you share multiple images in one swipeable format.
One post can carry an image, a caption, a link, and a location tag all at once. Mix and match.
Posting as a personal profile vs. business page
Personal profiles post to your timeline. Friends and followers see content based on your privacy settings.
Business pages work differently. You post as the page, not as yourself. Anyone can follow a page and see its public content. Pages also unlock scheduling tools, feed targeting, and post insights.
To post as a page, switch to it from the top-right profile menu before you open the composer.

Step-by-Step: How to Post to Facebook
Step 1: Log in and navigate to your feed or page
Go to facebook.com and log in. Your personal feed loads by default. To post to a business page, click your profile icon (top right) and select your page from the list.
Step 2: Click the "What's on your mind?" or "Create" button
On your personal feed, click the "What's on your mind?" box near the top. On a business page, click "Create Post."
Both open the post composer.
Step 3: Add your content (text, image, video, link)
Type your caption in the text field. To add media, click the photo/video icon and upload from your device. To add a link, paste the URL directly into the caption. Facebook generates a preview card automatically.
Step 4: Configure visibility and settings
For personal posts, click the audience selector. It defaults to "Friends" or "Public." Change it to match your intent.
For page posts, Facebook defaults to public. Use feed targeting to narrow your audience by age, location, or interests. Tag a person, add a check-in, or attach a feeling or activity using the toolbar icons at the bottom.
Step 5: Schedule or publish immediately
Click "Post" to publish right now. Or click the dropdown arrow next to "Post" and choose "Schedule Post." Pick your date and time. Per Meta's developer documentation, scheduled posts must go live within 75 days of creation.
Your post is live. Or queued. Either way, done.

Post Options and Features
Immediate vs. scheduled posting
Scheduled posts let you plan content in advance. Useful for consistent publishing without logging in every day. Facebook's native scheduler is free and built into the composer.
Tagging people and locations
Type @ followed by a name to tag someone. Click the location icon to add a check-in. Both improve reach and make posts easier to find.
Privacy and audience targeting
Personal posts: choose Public, Friends, Friends except, or a specific friend list. Page posts: use feed targeting to filter by demographics and interests. Per Meta's documentation, this targeting is available for page posts, not personal profiles.
Adding links and hashtags
Paste any URL into the caption. Facebook generates a link preview automatically. You can delete the preview card and keep the URL as text if you prefer a cleaner look. Add hashtags with # to improve discoverability.

Best Practices for Facebook Posts
Timing and frequency
Post when your audience is active. Consistency matters more than volume. Two or three strong posts per week beats daily posts with declining quality.
Image and video specs
Keep images square or portrait (1:1 or 4:5 ratio) for maximum feed real estate. Horizontal images work but occupy less vertical space. For video, use clear audio and add captions. Most users scroll with sound off.
Engagement-boosting tactics
Ask a question in your caption. Short captions outperform long paragraphs. The first two lines appear before "See more" so make them count. Respond to early comments quickly. Facebook's algorithm rewards engagement in the first hour after posting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule a Facebook post from my phone?
Yes. The Facebook mobile app supports scheduling through the same composer. Tap the dropdown next to "Post" and select "Schedule Post." Choose your date and time. Scheduled posts must go live within 75 days.
How do I post to a Facebook business page instead of my personal profile?
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of Facebook. Select your page from the dropdown. Now the composer will post as your page, not your personal account. You need admin or editor permissions on the page to publish.
Can I edit a Facebook post after publishing it?
Yes. Click the three-dot menu on the top-right corner of any post you own and select "Edit post." You can change text, but you cannot swap the image after posting to most formats.
What's the difference between a public and a friends-only post?
Public posts are visible to anyone on or off Facebook. Friends-only posts are visible only to your approved connections. For business pages, posts default to public because pages are designed for broad reach.
