The exact size, explained

Stories and Reels use a tall 9:16 vertical canvas of 1080×1920 pixels to fill the entire phone screen. Images with a different aspect ratio get cropped by Instagram or padded with bands on the sides.

Framing tips

Leave breathing room near the top and bottom edges, since Instagram overlays its own UI elements there.

Frequently asked questions

How is the image cropped?

The photo is scaled to fill the target size and cropped from the center, so nothing looks stretched or distorted.

Which format should I download?

JPG works everywhere and is the default. PNG is available if you need lossless output, and WebP if the destination supports it.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with WebAssembly — your image never leaves your device, which makes this safe even for ID photos and documents.
