Instagram story size
An Instagram story is 1080 × 1920 pixels, a 9:16 shape. In 240fps, choose Instagram story as the frame size and the canvas, the layout and every export use exactly 1080 × 1920, so the image or video is ready to upload without resizing.
Why the exact Instagram story size matters
Instagram crops everything to its own shapes, so a mockup made at the exact size keeps your device and headline where you put them.
Tips
- Keep text away from the top and bottom edges of Stories, where Instagram draws its own buttons.
- Video mockups work well as Reels and Stories: export an MP4 at 30 or 60 fps.
- One device with a short headline reads better on a phone than a busy multi-device scene.
