Instagram story and Reels size
Stories and Reels use a tall 9:16 frame: 1080 × 1920 pixels. A normal photo is much wider, so either crop to fill the screen or fit the whole photo on a blurred background.
The top and bottom of a story are covered by your name, buttons and the reply box. The preview shades those bands, so keep text and faces out of them.
Stories are saved as JPG at 90% quality.
