Facebook stories fill the phone screen at 1080x1920 pixels. Upload your photo below and crop it to 9:16 so the story fills the frame edge to edge instead of sitting inside a coloured or blurred background.

Facebook stories are 1080 x 1920 pixels in a 9:16 vertical ratio, the same as Instagram stories.
Facebook fills the leftover space when your image is not 9:16. Crop to 1080 x 1920 pixels and the background disappears.

The profile name sits at the top and the reply bar at the bottom. Keep important text in the middle of the frame.
