Facebook Post & Video Embed Generator

Paste a link to a public Facebook post or video and get a free embed code that shows it on your website — no sign-up needed.
The full link from the post’s ⋯ menu or the address bar, e.g. https://www.facebook.com/yourpage/posts/…Need your page’s whole feed, not one post?
Facebook’s script sizes the embed to the post. A plain iframe has a fixed height: use it where the site builder doesn’t run scripts. Videos and reels always get an iframe.

Embed the post

Why use this instead of the Facebook Embed button

Facebook’s Embed option lives in each post’s menu, and its documented manual setup needs the Facebook JavaScript SDK on your page. The generator makes the code from the link you already have: Facebook’s own code that fits the post, or a plain iframe for site builders that don’t run scripts.

Facebook embed options reference

Facebook documents these settings for its Embedded Posts and Embedded Video Player plugins. In Facebook’s script code they are data- attributes (data-show-text); in the iframe code they go into the post.php or video.php address.

Why the Facebook post doesn’t show

The post isn’t public

Only public posts from Pages and profiles can be embedded. A public post has a gray globe icon next to its date. To make your own post public, click the audience icon next to the date and choose Public.

The embed is empty or shows a “not available” message

The post was deleted or its audience changed from Public, so Facebook shows a message in its place. Make the post public again or embed another one.

The link points to a page or profile, not a post

Use the post’s own link: open the post and copy the address bar, or right-click the post’s date and copy the link.

You pasted a short fb.watch link

Open the link, then copy the full facebook.com address of the video from the address bar.

The code broke after pasting it into WordPress

WordPress can turn the & characters in the code into #038;, which breaks the embed. Paste the code into a block that keeps HTML unchanged.

The embed looks cut off or stretched

Don’t resize it with CSS. Set the width in the code instead: 350–750 pixels for posts, at least 220 for videos.

How to embed a Facebook post

  1. Copy the link

    On Facebook, open the post or video and copy its link.

  2. Paste it here

    Paste the link, set the width and choose whether to show the text.

  3. Add the code

    Paste the code into an HTML block on your page.
