Frequently Asked Questions

What aspect ratio does Instagram use?
Instagram supports 1:1 (square) for feed posts, 9:16 (vertical) for Reels and Stories, and 4:5 (portrait) for feed videos. Reels at 9:16 get the most screen real estate.
Can I crop a horizontal video to vertical for Reels?
Yes. Upload your landscape (16:9) video, select the 9:16 crop ratio, and position the crop area over the subject. The tool will crop and export the vertical clip.
What resolution should my Instagram video be?
Instagram recommends 1080x1080 for square posts and 1080x1920 for Reels/Stories. After cropping, use our Resize Video tool to hit those exact dimensions if needed.
