Crop Instagram Reels to the perfect size with our online tool
Want to create Instagram Reels that fit the platform perfectly? You’re in the right place! Our online video editor lets anyone create beautiful Reels without requiring any advanced video editing experience. Just upload your video, set the project size to Vertical, drag the video over and resize it by clicking and dragging. You can also take advantage of Flixier’s other editing features to cut out unwanted parts, trim your Reels, add motion titles, generate subtitles automatically and much more. And the best part is that you can do it all in your web browser!
Crop Reels down to the perfect size and length
Choose the Vertical preset in Flixier to get the perfect size for your Instagram Reels. It will set your project to a resolution of 1080 x 1920, meaning your videos will be displayed in full HD. You can also use the timeline to trim your video’s length down precisely and make sure it meets the Instagram maximum length criteria of 60 seconds.
Ensure that your Reels are always well framed
Toggle the ‘Safe Zone Overlays’ on to make sure that your Reels always look good. The overlay will show you which parts of the video will get covered up by interface elements like the Like, Comment, or Follow buttons, so you can reframe your video to make sure that everything important is still visible on the screen.
Generate subtitles for Instagram Reels
Keep people watching on mute from swiping past your Reels! Flixier can analyze the spoken audio in your video and create accurate, fully synchronized subtitles that you can then edit, customize and even translate to different languages. Don’t neglect subtitles! Increase your engagement with a simple click!
Enhance your Reels with filters and color corrections
Make sure your Reels stand out from the crowd! Our simple Vibrance and Saturation sliders will ensure that your colors pop, while the Brightness and Sharpness settings can help fix a dark or blurry video. You can also use our color filters like Sepia or Technicolor to make sure that your Reels really reflect the mood you were trying to capture.

I like Flixier because I can use it anywhere I go and I don`t need a lot of computer requirements but great internet connection. I like how fast it is when it comes to rendering videos and still have the opportunity to continue or start another project while waiting. I appreciate the continuous updates and adjustments because it is necessary for a video editing tool.
My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

What I like most about Flixier is the flexibility to edit the captions, both in terms of the text and the time where it starts and finish showing it. It gives you full control.
This online free program was extremely easy to use, implement, and integrate into my 9-12th grade tech classes. The projects turned out great and were easy to export. I liked having multiple ways to upload pictures. The software was also easy to understand.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
What are the recommended dimensions for Instagram Reels?
An Instagram Reel should have a resolution of 1080 x 1920. This means that your Reel will be full HD and look crisp, while still filling most of the screen space on a mobile phone screen.
Is there a size limit for Reels?
The maximum allowed file size for an Instagram Reel is 4 Gb.
Why is Instagram cropping my Reel?
If Instagram is cropping your Reel, it means that your video’s aspect ratio is too wide. Keep in mind that Instagram Reels are mostly watched on mobile devices which are held vertically, so Instagram will crop your videos in order to fill in as much of the screen as possible. You can avoid that issue by using an online video editor like Flixier to crop and reframe your Instagram Reels manually.
