Instagram Story or Reel Cover specs
| Spec | Details |
|---|---|
| Size | 1080 × 1920 pixels |
| Aspect ratio | 9:16 |
| File size | Not a concern at this size: the platform compresses uploads |

Stories and Reels covers fill the whole phone screen at 9:16. Keep text out of the top 14% and bottom 20% to 35%, where the app draws its buttons; the safe zone checker shows exactly where.

Make one that fits
The social media image resizer opens with this size selected. Drop in your image, click the part that must stay in frame, and download it at exactly 1080 × 1920. It runs in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.
