—About Instagram Story Resizer
The Instagram Story Resizer frames an image to the tall 1080×1920 Story and Reel canvas, with safe-area guides showing where interface elements sit. It helps anyone fitting a photo to a full-screen vertical story without important content being covered.
Stories are full-screen and vertical, so a normal photo needs reframing. Doing it with safe-area guides keeps your subject clear of the caption and profile overlays, all in the browser.
Step by step
- Drop the image you want to use for a story.
- The canvas is set to the 1080×1920 vertical size.
- Zoom and drag to position your subject inside the safe area.
- Add a background fill for any gaps.
- Download the story-sized image.
