Instagram Story size: create a 1080 x 1920 vertical image
Create Instagram Story images at 1080 x 1920. Upload a photo or graphic, adjust framing inside the 9:16 canvas, choose fill or padding, and export a clean vertical Story image.
Keep text and key details away from edges
Instagram Stories are full-screen vertical images. Keep titles, faces, products, and calls to action away from the very top, bottom, and side edges so they do not feel cramped on mobile screens.
Local processing without uploading the source image
Resize, crop preview, padding, and export run in your browser. The source image is not sent to a server, which is useful for drafts, client visuals, product launches, and campaign assets.
Common Instagram Story size notes
Instagram Stories commonly use a 9:16 vertical layout. Starting from the final frame helps avoid awkward crops and text placement problems.
Instagram Story: 1080 x 1920 px
1080 x 1920 is the common Instagram Story size. It matches the vertical 9:16 layout used by full-screen mobile story content.
Vertical ratio: 9:16
A Story image is tall and narrow. Portrait images usually adapt more easily, while landscape photos often need cropping or background padding.
Check framing before export
Story graphics often include text, stickers, product shots, or faces. Previewing inside the final frame helps avoid tight edges and accidental cropping.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Instagram Story size, 9:16 images, safe framing, and export formats.
What is the Instagram Story size?
The common Instagram Story size is 1080 x 1920 px. It uses a 9:16 vertical ratio and is designed for full-screen mobile viewing.
What aspect ratio should an Instagram Story use?
Instagram Stories commonly use a 9:16 aspect ratio. A 1080 x 1920 image follows that ratio and gives you a high-resolution vertical Story canvas.
Can I use a landscape photo for an Instagram Story?
Yes. Use fill frame mode if you want the Story to cover the full screen, or keep full image mode if you want to avoid cropping the landscape photo.
How do I avoid cutting off text in an Instagram Story?
1. Start with the full 1080 x 1920 preview. 2. Keep headlines, buttons, date labels, and faces inside the center-safe area rather than near the top, bottom, or sides. 3. If the source image is too wide or tall, adjust the framing instead of forcing text into the edge areas. 4. Preview the full composition again before exporting. That usually works better for full-screen Story viewing.
Should I export an Instagram Story as JPG or PNG?
JPG is usually fine for photos and gradients. PNG is often better for text-heavy graphics, logos, interface screenshots, or designs with sharp edges.
Does this tool upload my Instagram Story image?
No. Resize, crop, padding, preview, and export all run locally in your browser, and the source image is not uploaded to the server.
