Reels vs videos
Understanding
the difference
REELS
Reels are short, engaging video clips that last between 15 to 90
seconds. They are designed to capture attention quickly, making
them ideal for sharing creative ideas, short tutorials, or
participating in trending challenges. Reels are typically created
in a vertical format, optimized for mobile viewing, and are often
promoted by social media algorithms to reach a wider audience,
including people who may not already follow you.
VIDEOS
Videos refer to longer-form content that can range
from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the
platform. They are used for more detailed storytelling,
educational purposes, product demonstrations, or in-
depth discussions. Videos are versatile in format
(vertical or horizontal) and provide more time to
engage with a topic or audience.
