Instagram Reels Dimensions & Aspect Ratio in 2026 Reels dimensions & aspect ratio for best quality are 1080 × 1920 px at 9:16, they must be vertical full-screen. Design with a safe zone so captions, buttons, and your own subtitles don’t cover key text. Your cover should also be built in 9:16, but expect profile grid previews to crop tighter because Instagram moved to rectangular grids. Export in MP4, 30 FPS, and a high bitrate to reduce upload blur. Instagram shows the same Reel in multiple placements, and each one crops differently. That’s why the video at 9:16 still isn’t enough. This guide gives you a single spec system: dimensions, safe zones, covers, exports, and resizing steps you can repeat every time. I’ll also include quick templates for Canva, Premiere, CapCut, and Final Cut.

Instagram Reels Dimensions & Aspect Ratio in 2026

Why do your Reels get cropped, zoomed, or blurry even in 9:16? I’ll show the exact Reel sizes, safe zones, and export presets so every upload fits perfectly. The Zeely team built this using platform docs, product updates, and tests from creators scaling Reels.
