The Full-Screen Mobile Experience

Instagram Stories (and Reels) are designed to be a completely immersive, full-screen mobile experience. The required dimension is 1080 pixels wide by 1920 pixels tall (a 9:16 aspect ratio). If you upload a square or landscape photo from your camera roll, Instagram will shrink it and fill the empty top and bottom space with a blurry, color-matched background. Our tool lets you crop and resize your image to perfectly fill the 1080x1920 canvas before you post.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is an Instagram Story?
The exact dimensions for an Instagram Story are 1080 x 1920 pixels.
Where is the safe zone for an IG Story?
Avoid placing text or stickers in the top 250 pixels (where your username appears) and the bottom 250 pixels (where the 'Reply' box sits). Keep the focus in the center.
Does this size work for TikTok and YouTube Shorts?
Yes! 1080x1920 (9:16) is the universal standard for all vertical mobile video platforms, including TikTok, Snapchat, and Shorts.
Can I stretch a horizontal photo to fit a Story?
If you stretch a wide photo into a tall box, it will look terribly distorted. We recommend using our Crop tool to select a vertical slice of the photo instead.
Why do my Instagram Stories lose quality?
Instagram compresses uploads over a cellular connection. Ensure you are uploading a perfectly sized 1080x1920 JPG over a strong Wi-Fi connection, and check your Instagram settings to enable 'High Quality Uploads'.
Can I resize a video for my Story here?
No, our tool strictly handles static image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP). It cannot resize MP4 or MOV video files.
Is the resizer safe to use on my iPhone?
Yes, it works natively inside the Safari browser. No data is sent to external servers, protecting your privacy completely.
