  • Aspect Ratio: 9:16 (Vertical)
  • Safe Zone: Leave ~250px at top (avatar/handle) and bottom (reply bars)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do horizontal photos look blurry in Stories? Instagram auto-zooms horizontal photos to fill the height, lowering sharpness. Padding to 1080×1920 ensures full-resolution display.
Can I use this for Reel covers? Yes! Instagram Reel cover images use the exact same 1080 × 1920 aspect ratio.
