Facebook Story Size
Facebook Stories are 1080×1920 px (9:16), the same frame as Instagram. Facebook overlays your name and profile photo at the top and a CTA/reply area at the bottom, so keep readable text in the centre band.

1080×1920, same as Instagram
A Facebook Story is 1080×1920 (9:16). Design full-bleed at that size. Narrower ratios get letterboxed. Because Facebook and Instagram share the same Story frame, one 1080×1920 export covers both.
Keep 250 px clear top and bottom
Facebook places your name and profile photo across the top ~250 px and a reply bar / CTA button across the bottom ~250 px. Keep headlines, logos and prices inside the centre 1080×1420 so nothing gets covered.
Story ads
For Facebook Story ads the bottom holds the CTA button, so leave the lower area especially clean. Text overlay under ~20% of the frame also helps ad delivery.
