About this tool
The Instagram Story size is 1080 x 1920 pixels, a portrait 9:16 frame. Drop an image on this page and the preset is already applied - there is nothing to type in. Keep text out of the top and bottom 250 pixels - that is where the profile bar and the reply box sit. Instagram overlays its own interface on this: the profile row at the top and the reply box at the bottom eat roughly 250 pixels each. The image never leaves your computer - the resize runs in the browser, which also means there is no queue and no file-size cap. Cropping to 9:16 from another shape removes part of the image by definition. The preview makes that visible before you download rather than after.

Common uses
- Posting a story or a reel.
- Resizing on a phone without installing an editing app.

- Getting a correctly sized image without opening a full editor for a 30-second job.
- Fixing an image a platform rejected for being the wrong dimensions.
Tips for better results
- Start from the largest original you have. Scaling up to 1080 x 1920 pixels from something smaller looks soft, and nothing undoes that.
- Instagram overlays its own interface on this: the profile row at the top and the reply box at the bottom eat roughly 250 pixels each.
- Save as JPG rather than PNG at this size. A PNG photograph here can be several times larger for no visible gain.
- Check the result on the platform itself - feed thumbnails are often cropped again from the size you upload.
Mistakes to avoid
- Assuming another platform at the same pixel size behaves identically. Instagram overlays its own interface on this: the profile row at the top and the reply box at the bottom eat roughly 250 pixels each.
- Re-saving the same JPG over and over. Each save loses a little more detail, permanently.
- Letting the image stretch instead of keeping the ratio. A squashed face is more obvious than a tight crop.
- Putting important detail near the edges of a 9:16 frame. Platforms crop again for thumbnails and previews.
