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.
