Tips for Instagram reel

  • Captions and key action belong in the central safe zone - the bottom and right hold the caption, audio and action buttons.
  • The profile grid shows a centred square crop of the cover, so design the cover to read at 1:1 too.

Once your image is the right size, you can crop it to these exact dimensions with the free in-browser resizer. Nothing is uploaded.
