Resize image for Instagram Story (1080×1920)
Instagram Stories and Reels covers use a 9:16 vertical canvas at 1080×1920 pixels. Matching this exact size means your story fills the screen edge-to-edge with no letterboxing.
Your files never leave your device. No upload. No sign-up.

Instagram tip
Keep all critical text and faces in the central vertical band — Instagram overlays the username at the top and reaction icons at the bottom, hiding roughly the outer 250 pixels of height.
