Instagram Story and Reel size

Stories, Reels and their cover images use a full-screen 1080 × 1920 pixel canvas at a 9:16 ratio. Keep important text out of the top and bottom 250 pixels or so, where the profile name, reply box and buttons sit. For a landscape photo, try Fit inside with a brand colour behind it instead of cropping away most of the picture.
