Will Sizzledraft use photos from private Facebook posts?

No. It captures only material available to a public browser, such as a visible cover photo, profile image, public post images and public about text. Posts, albums or restaurant details that require a Facebook login cannot be captured, so check the page while logged out before creating the video.

Can the video focus on bookings rather than general awareness?

Yes. The scenes can move from a dish or dining-room image to a clear reservation message, using the restaurant details available on the public page. The first video is based on the site alone. For later versions, a prompt can request a focus such as dinner reservations, terrace tables or weekend lunch.

What video formats work for restaurant social posts?

A restaurant ad can be rendered vertically at 1080x1920 for phone-first feeds or horizontally at 1920x1080 for wider placements. Both use 30fps and H.264. Audio is normalised to -14 LUFS, giving the food, atmosphere and booking message a consistent playback level.

Can I use a trending sound with the finished restaurant video?

Yes, but the trending sound is handed over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting. It is not baked into the video file because baked-in audio does not count as using that platform sound. This keeps the restaurant ad ready for the correct native publishing step.

Make your restaurant page ready for the feed

Sizzledraft turns a restaurant’s public Facebook page into a short video ad using its real food photos, branding and business details. It captures available page content, builds and renders the scenes, then delivers a file suited to social posting.

How do I make a video ad from my restaurant Facebook page?

Paste the URL of your restaurant’s Facebook page. Sizzledraft drives a browser across the public page and collects the cover photo, profile image, recent post images and visible about text. It then uses those assets to compose scenes around the dishes, dining room and booking message already presented by the restaurant. The first video is cut from the page alone, so public photos should clearly show plated food, the room or terrace, and any details diners need before reserving. Later videos can accept a prompt, such as focusing on Sunday lunch, a tasting menu or outdoor tables. The finished ad can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264.

What should a restaurant video ad show first?

Lead with the clearest, most appetising public image of a signature dish or a recognisable view of the dining room. The opening should answer a diner’s immediate question: what could I eat here, and what will the place feel like? Follow with two or three contrasting details, such as a close-up of the main course, drinks at the bar and tables set for service. Use the restaurant’s profile image or name treatment for recognition, then close with a direct booking prompt. Avoid opening on a long logo screen because it delays the food and atmosphere that influence the choice. If recent Facebook posts mix menus, staff notices and event flyers, make the strongest food photography the visual priority.

Can public Facebook posts provide enough material for a restaurant ad?

They can when the page has several clear, recent images that show food and the setting. A cover photo can establish the restaurant, the profile image can support recognition, post images can supply dishes and atmosphere, and about text can provide useful context such as cuisine or location. The main limitation is Facebook’s login wall. Sizzledraft can use only content visible to a public browser, so restricted albums, private posts and details revealed after sign-in are unavailable. Before creating the first video, check the page while logged out. Make sure at least a few strong dish or interior photos remain visible and that the public about text is current. Later videos can use a prompt to choose a narrower angle from the available material.

What the browser actually gets

Our browser can capture the public cover photo, profile image, recent public post images and visible about text from a restaurant’s Facebook page. Facebook places much of its content behind a login wall, so private, restricted or login-only posts cannot be used, and the first video must rely on what is publicly visible.

The common mistake

A common mistake is filling the opening with a logo while the food appears later. Start with the strongest dish or dining-room image, identify the restaurant quickly, and finish with one clear booking action.

Your best dish photos sit across separate Facebook posts, making it hard to shape them into one clear menu story.
Still images rarely show how the dining room, terrace or bar will feel during a meal.
A video can earn attention but lose bookings when it omits the restaurant name, location or a clear reservation prompt.
