Split video for Facebook Story

How it works

1. 1

   Add your video

   Drop or pick the long video. Processing is local, nothing uploads.

2. 2

   Pick the part length

   20 seconds matches a Facebook Story card. The tool computes all the cuts for you.

3. 3

   Download and post in order

   Each part is its own MP4. Add them to your story in order for one continuous play.

The Facebook Story video limit and how to beat it

Facebook Stories are short by design: a photo card shows for a few seconds and a video card plays roughly 20 seconds before jumping to the next. Post a two minute video and Facebook simply cuts it off, which is why so many stories end mid-sentence. The fix is not an app or a workaround, it is splitting the video into card-sized parts before you post.

This Facebook story video splitter measures your clip and cuts it into exact 20 second segments, every one a normal MP4. Post them in order and the story plays through the entire video, card after card, with cuts you chose instead of cuts a timer chose.

Free, local, and clean output

Like every tool on this site, the story splitter runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload, no account, no watermark, and no size limit, because there is no server involved at all. That also makes it fast: Fast copy mode slices even a large video in seconds since it never re-encodes a frame.

Posting to more than one platform? The same splitter is preset for WhatsApp Status, Instagram Stories, and Snapchat, each with the right clip length for that app. You will find them linked under More tools below.

Why nothing uploads

Other tools send your video to their servers, which costs them money per file, so they add watermarks, cap file sizes, and make you sign up. This tool does the work right here in your browser using your own device. Your file is never uploaded, so there is no wait, no watermark, no size limit, and no account.

Questions

How long can a Facebook Story video be?

A Facebook Story video card plays about 20 seconds. Longer uploads get trimmed or split by Facebook on its own timer, so pre-cutting the video into 20 second parts is the reliable way to show the whole thing.

How do I put a long video on my Facebook Story?

Split it into 20 second parts here, save them, and post the parts as consecutive story cards. They play one after another like a single longer video.

Why is my Facebook Story video cut off?

Facebook trims story videos to the card limit. If your video is 48 seconds, viewers see only the first 20 unless you split it. This splitter cuts at exactly the right timestamps so nothing is lost.

Do the parts get a watermark or lose quality?

No watermark. Exact mode re-encodes at high quality so every part fits the limit precisely; Fast copy is lossless and instant but snaps cuts to keyframes.

Is my video uploaded to your server?

No. The video is split in your browser, on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so a private video stays private and there is no file size cap.
