About the Facebook Like Toggle animation

Like Toggle is for pages rather than profiles, and for the moment in a video where you want engagement without a full follow prompt. The thumb and the fill run off the same frame of contact, so they read as one event. Put a real like count in the before field.

Where it fits

  • In a page video, at the moment you ask for a like rather than a follow.
  • Over a screen recording of the page, matching the real button.
  • As a small engagement beat in a community update.

Filling it in

This is for pages rather than profiles. Put the page name in, then a real like count before and one more after, written as 1,204 likes. The thumb and the blue fill run off the same frame, so they read as one event. Facebook blue is the default and suits a page.

Format and timing

Facebook Like Toggle is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.7 seconds, holds for 1.3 and clears in 0.9, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.

Questions about Facebook Like Toggle

Is this a like on a post or a like on a page?

A page. The count reads as page likes and the control is the page's like button. For a post reaction, the like burst is a closer match.

Does the count roll or step?

It steps by one, from the before figure to the after. A like is one event, so the count moves by one, which is what makes the press look real.
