Which Instagram image size should I choose?
Stories and Reel covers — 1080 × 1920
Use a tall 9:16 image for an Instagram Story or full-screen Reel cover. Instagram interface elements may cover parts of the top and bottom, so keep essential text away from the edges.
Square and portrait posts — 1080 × 1080 or 1080 × 1350
Choose 1:1 for square feed posts, or 4:5 for traditional portrait feed graphics. Instagram may show different crops in profile grids and some app views.

Common questions.
Is the Instagram image resizer really free?
Yes. Image resizing uses your browser's Canvas API, so no paid image-processing service or Instagram API is involved.
Are the photos uploaded to InstaTimestamp?
No. This tool reads and processes the selected image locally in your browser. The image is not uploaded to our server.
Does this resize actual Instagram Reel videos?
No. This version resizes still images, including Reel cover images. Video files require a separate video processing tool.
What's the difference between Crop, Fit and Blur fill?
Crop fills the frame, cutting off some of the picture if necessary. Fit shows the entire image with a solid-color background. Blur fill shows the entire image over a softly blurred copy of it.
Will this improve a low-resolution photo?
It changes dimensions and layout, but it cannot restore detail that wasn't present in the original photo. For the best result, use a high-quality source image.
