Key Notes & Limitations

• No Other Media: Background posts cannot include images or videos.

• Facebook Pages Only: Not supported on personal profiles or groups.

• Links as Plain Text: URLs in your text appear without link previews.

• Editing: You may change—but not remove—a background on published posts.

• Character Limit: Publer allows unlimited text; Facebook enforces a 130-character cap on background posts.

• Syncing: Background posts sync back as plain text, not background posts.

Best Practices

• Select Complementary Backgrounds: Match your brand palette and message.

• Keep Copy Concise: Short, punchy text reads best over busy backgrounds.

• Preview Before Posting: Verify legibility and overall visual balance.
