Auto-fit to 1080×1920px for Instagram

What is the Instagram Story / Reel size?

The Instagram Story / Reel size is 1080×1920 pixels, an aspect ratio of 9:16. This is the recommended dimension for Stories and Reels on Instagram. Keep text in the middle 80% — the top and bottom are covered by the UI. This tool resizes any image to exactly 1080×1920px in your browser — you can zoom, reposition, and choose whether to fill the frame (cropping edges) or fit the whole image (adding whitespace), then download a perfectly-sized PNG.

How to resize an image for Instagram Story / Reel

To resize an image for Instagram: upload your image above, use the zoom and position sliders to frame it inside the 1080×1920px area, choose Fill (to crop and fill the whole frame) or Fit (to keep the entire image with white padding), and download. The result is exactly 1080×1920px — the correct Instagram Story / Reel size — so it uploads to Instagram without any awkward cropping. Everything happens in your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server.

Tips for a great Instagram Story / Reel

For the best Instagram Story / Reel: start with a high-resolution image so it stays sharp at 1080×1920px, keep important content (faces, text, logos) in the center safe zone, and export as PNG for crisp edges or JPEG for smaller file size. Keep text in the middle 80% — the top and bottom are covered by the UI. Using the exact 9:16 ratio prevents Instagram from auto-cropping your image in unexpected ways, which is the most common reason posts look wrong after uploading.
