Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct Instagram Story size?
The standard Instagram Story dimensions are 1080 x 1920 pixels. This matches a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, which is ideal for mobile screens.
Can I upload landscape photos to Instagram Stories?
Yes, but Instagram will add blank borders to the top and bottom of landscape photos. Resizing or cropping your image to 1080 x 1920 pixels first will ensure it fills the entire screen.
How do I avoid text being covered by UI elements on Stories?
Keep your important text and design elements within the middle 80% of the screen. Avoid placing text in the top 250 pixels (where your profile info is) or the bottom 250 pixels (where the reply bar is).
Is my image quality preserved?
Yes, our high-quality resizing logic scales your image smoothly. Since the process runs locally in your browser, your files never leave your device.
