So, when you’re uploading to your feed, make sure your video meets the Reels size requirements of 1080px by 1920px and follows the same specs as traditional Instagram Reels.
This change gives your videos access to the same features, discoverability, and algorithm boosts as standalone Reels!
Tip: Don’t forget to leave some room at the bottom of your Reel for the video caption! The bottom fifth of the screen is where the caption will be displayed.
Instagram Stories video size
Instagram Stories have pretty much the same size requirements as Instagram Reels. Most Reels are shot using the Instagram app to make use of effects, transitions, and music.
Instagram Stories video guidelines are:
- Size and dimension: 1080 by 1080 pixels
- Minimum width: 500 pixels
- Frame rate: 23-60 FPS
- Max file size: 4GB
- Aspect ratio: 9:16
- Video length: 1 to 60 seconds
- Recommended video formats: MP4, MOV, or GIF
Remember, the Instagram video size limit for Stories is 4GB for every 15 seconds of video. So, if your Story is more than 15 seconds long Instagram will split it up into 15-second blocks. Each of those blocks can be up to 4GB.
