Resize video for Instagram
Get your video into the shape Instagram wants. Three sizes cover everything the app accepts, and all three are one click away.
Your video never leaves your device. There is no upload, no queue and no server copy. Free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no export limit.
What you can do
All three Instagram sizes
Reels and Stories at 1080 × 1920, square posts at 1080 × 1080, and the taller 4:5 feed post at 1080 × 1350.
Keep the subject in frame
Cropping 16:9 to 9:16 throws away most of the width. Slide the picture so what matters stays in shot.
Blurred background
The look most reposted landscape footage uses — nothing cropped, gaps filled with a blurred copy of the frame.
Add captions
Most Instagram video is watched muted. Text layers are on the same page.

Questions
What size is an Instagram Reel?
1080 × 1920 pixels — a 9:16 portrait frame. Stories use the same size, so one export covers both.
What size is an Instagram video post?
1080 × 1080 for a square, or 1080 × 1350 for the 4:5 portrait post, which takes up more of the feed and is generally the better choice.
How long can an Instagram Reel be?
Instagram currently allows up to 3 minutes for Reels, which is also the limit this editor handles.
Why does Instagram crop my video?
Because its aspect ratio does not match the slot you posted it into. Resizing it to the right dimensions first means Instagram has nothing left to crop.
Does Instagram reduce the quality?
Yes, it re-compresses every upload. Export at High quality so its compression starts from the best source you can give it.
