Wondering exactly what your Instagram story dimensions should be? Read on.

IG strictly adheres to their Instagram story dimensions, and they will crop videos or zoom in on photos that don’t meet their requirements. So it pays to be careful!

The best Instagram story dimensions are 1080 pixels wide by 1920 pixels high with a 9:16 aspect ratio.

If you’re not concerned about having the highest-quality HD video, you can keep the 9:16 aspect ratio by sizing to 900px x 1600px or even 720px x 1280px. (They may load faster due to smaller file size.)

Here are a few other sizes you should keep in mind on IG.
