Instagram Story Size Tool — 1080×1920
Instagram Stories and Reels fill the entire phone screen at 1080×1920 pixels, a 9:16 vertical format. Uploading an image that doesn’t match this ratio means Instagram will zoom, pad, or clip it for you. Use this tool to frame your image precisely within the 9:16 area before posting. The result is a clean, full-screen Story or Reel cover that looks intentional.

Why use this tool?
Open any image to enter the crop editor. The frame is locked to 9:16 at 1080×1920 pixels, and you can reposition and resize using eight drag handles plus the movable overlay. A live dimension readout keeps you informed as you adjust the selection. Export as PNG (default), JPG, or WebP, with a quality slider available for the lossy options. Everything runs in your browser through native Web APIs, meaning your images are never uploaded, stored, or seen by any external server.

Frequently asked questions
What dimensions should an Instagram Story image be?
The recommended size is 1080×1920 pixels, which corresponds to a 9:16 aspect ratio. This fills the full screen on most smartphones without cropping or letterboxing.
Is my file private and secure?
Completely. Your file is processed 100% inside your browser using the Web APIs built into your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server — imgic never sees, stores, or transmits your images. You can even use these tools offline once the page has loaded.
Can I use this for Instagram Reels covers too?
Yes. Reels use the same 1080×1920 (9:16) dimensions as Stories. Any image you export here will fit perfectly as a Reel cover image.
What happens if my source image is landscape?
You can still use it. The crop overlay will select a tall vertical slice of your landscape image. Drag the overlay to choose which portion of the image to keep within the 9:16 frame.
Can I adjust the export quality?
When exporting as JPG or WebP, a quality slider lets you balance file size against image fidelity. PNG export is lossless and does not use a quality setting.
