Instagram Stories require a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio at 1080×1920 pixels. Upload any landscape or square photo and resize it to the exact Story dimensions, no app install, works directly in your browser on iPhone, Android, or desktop.

Posting a landscape photo to Stories results in black bars and a smaller image inside the frame. Resize to 1080×1920 first to fill the entire screen. Stories also accept 1080×1350 (4:5) for portrait posts, and 1080×1080 for square Reels covers.

How to use it

Three steps, under 30 seconds from upload to download.

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Set to 1080 × 1920

Questions & answers

Everything you might need to know before using the tool.

What is the ideal image size for Instagram Stories?+
Instagram Stories display at 1080×1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio). The minimum size is 500×889 pixels. For the sharpest result, upload at 1080×1920. The maximum file size for image Stories is 30 MB.
What happens if I post a landscape photo to Instagram Stories?+
Instagram fills the remaining vertical space with a blurred version of your photo as a background, and your photo appears smaller in the center. Resizing to 1080×1920 before posting fills the entire screen edge-to-edge.
Can I resize a Story image on my iPhone?+
Yes. Open this tool in Safari on your iPhone, upload from your Camera Roll, resize to 1080×1920, and download. The result saves to your Files app and can be shared to Instagram directly.
What size is an Instagram Reel cover image?+
Reel covers display at 1080×1920 px (same as Stories) on the Reels tab. However, the cropped preview shown on your profile grid is 1080×1080. Design your cover with the key visual in the center to look good in both contexts.
