What are the recommended dimensions for Instagram Reels?
Instagram Reels are recommended to be in a vertical format with dimensions of 9:16. This means a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels is ideal for the best quality of your Instagram reel videos. Sticking to this format will make your content pop while people scroll through the app, taking up most of the screen on their mobile devices. You can use Flixier to crop Instagram videos with just a few clicks right in your browser.
Is there a size limit for Reels?
An Instagram Reel video can be up to 4 GB in size and as long as 90 seconds. That extra time lets you get really creative when sharing informative content! If you want to polish your Instagram reel videos, you can use Flixier's online tool to trim them to the perfect length, remove any bits you don't need, or even combine several clips into one.
Why is Instagram cropping my Reel?
If you've noticed that Instagram is cropping your Reel, don't worry! It usually happens because your video's aspect ratio is a bit too wide. Since most people watch Instagram Reels videos on their phones held vertically, Instagram tries to make the most of the screen space by cropping your Instagram Reel video. But there's an easy fix! You can use an intuitive online video editor like Flixier to crop and reframe your Instagram Reels just the way you want.
Is Instagram 4:3 or 16:9?
Instagram Reels use a 9:16 vertical format. Feed videos can be 1:1 or 4:5, but Reels should always be vertical.
What file formats are supported?
Flixier supports MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM, WMV, MPEG, and more. All videos are exported as MP4 for Instagram compatibility.
Can I crop an Instagram Reel after posting?
No, Instagram does not allow cropping a Reel after it’s uploaded. You must edit and crop it beforehand, then re-upload.
