This opens up a ton of new options for shooting IGTV content, and a few post dimensions to keep in mind. However, after a crush of feedback from users who found this difficult to film long-form content this way 😩, Instagram opted to allow landscape videos on IGTV in May 2019. Previously, users had to shoot their content (sometimes an hour’s worth!) in a 9:16 long horizontal ratio. IGTV, or “Youtube for Instagram” as it’s sometimes called, debuted with a portrait-only option in 2018. Reels can be any length up to 30 seconds The caption of your Reel displays in an overlay in the bottom corner of the video Instagram Reels preview in the feed at a 4:5 Portrait size (cropped from the top and bottom and centered) However, there are some things you should know! Instagram Reels use the same dimensions as Instagram Stories – 1080 x 1920 px and an aspect ratio of 9:16. The photo dimension you need to fill the entire Instagram Stories screen perfectly is a 9:16 aspect ratio, and a 1080px by 1920px size. However, you’re more likely to capture attention (and make your posts easier to see and understand) if you fill up the entire Stories screen with no borders. You can upload photos and videos to Instagram Stories in any aspect ratio from 1:9:1 to 9:16. That’s also another reason that the aspect ratios for Instagram Stories are different from the other post sizes we went over before!

Instagram Stories content is meant to be viewed in portrait mode, so even though you can post landscape photos and videos, they won’t show up as well on Stories. Instagram Stories are another amazing tool for connecting with your followers and posting everything from text posts, hosting Instagram Lives, and uploading photos and videos!
