Preset details
Instagram Reels size — 1080×1920 (9:16)
Size answer and destination decision
Use 1080×1920 pixels at 9:16 for vertical Reels playback.
1080 ÷ 1920 = 0.5625 (9:16)
Compose for full-screen playback, then after export manually inspect the feed cover crop and profile cover crop in Instagram. Protect cover text inside the overlapping central region so a strong opening frame does not become a clipped grid title.
Use this preset when
- Motion, demonstrations, or people fill a vertical phone screen without narrow side borders
- A chosen cover still identifies the video in both feed and profile previews
Reconsider the crop or format when
- Critical words sit near the top or bottom where playback controls compete for attention
- A horizontal master would require severe enlargement that removes contextual action
After export: manual destination check
After export, manually check the full-screen frame, feed cover crop, and profile cover crop in Instagram.
