You may have to resize a video for Instagram, meaning you shrink or crop your video to fit the screen. Or you can select the video and click on the Crop button in the toolbar to do that. You can see the change made to the post by comparing the different aspect ratios. Right-click the video on the video track, and choose Crop from the pop-up menu to open a new editing window to crop videos. Instagram accepts different ratios for their feeds, so you can use any of the compatible images or videos. The video orientation can be vertical, horizontal, or square.Īspect ratios are key to whether the frame looks more like a rectangle or a square. The Instagram Story ad size is 1080 × 1920 pixels at a 16:09 ratio. The Instagram feed ad is 1080 × 1080 pixels.
A minimum video length for ads is 1 second and maximum is 120 seconds. Different supported sizes include 1920 × 1080p, 1080 × 1350p (in the Instagram feed), 1080 × 1080p (on the profile grid.) You can also post large videos from your computer. IGTV videos can be up to 10 minutes in length. If you exceed the max length then Instagram will split the big video into small videos of 15 seconds. Instagram Story posts can be up to 15 seconds at a frame ratio of 9:16. Portrait or landscape videos can be used between 1.91:1 and 4:5 ratio. Feed videos can be 3 seconds to 60 seconds long and they are some of the most flexible in terms of size. The frame size is different for each and an editor can convert your videos to fit.
You can use video on the feed, Story, IGTV, Reels, Ads, so a video resizer for Instagram needs to be able to handle the specs of all of these different pictures. There are five main types of video for posting on Instagram.
