Frequently Asked Questions
What aspect ratio do Instagram Stories use?
Stories and Reels use a 9:16 vertical frame at 1080×1920 pixels — this tool resizes and crops your image to fit that exact format.
Will a horizontal photo get heavily cropped?
Yes — converting a wide landscape photo into a tall 9:16 frame crops a significant portion off the sides since the dimensions are so different.
Can I add text or stickers using this tool?
No — this only resizes and crops your image to the correct dimensions; add any text/stickers afterward in the Instagram app itself.
Will this also work for Reels covers?
Yes — Reels use the same 1080×1920 vertical frame as Stories, so this tool’s output fits either.
