Instagram Reels Dimensions, Ratio, and Safe Zones

Use these dimensions before export so captions, cover text, and important visuals stay readable inside a vertical Reels frame.

Start creatingReels tools hub

Dimensions quick reference

Use the 9:16 frame as the production default, then keep captions and subjects away from the most crowded app UI areas.

Video frame

1080 x 1920 px, 9:16 vertical MP4.

  • Primary export target
  • Works for vertical short-form MP4s

Cover frame

Use a vertical cover moment and keep text centered enough to survive grid crops.

  • Avoid edge text
  • Pick a readable subject

Caption safe zone

Keep subtitles away from the bottom UI area and from important faces or objects.

  • Mobile-first text size
  • No overlap with key visuals

Recommended export setup

CreateFaceless uses a vertical short-form workflow, so the same review step can catch both Reels and Shorts framing issues.

  • Export at 1080 x 1920 when possible.
  • Review captions on a mobile-sized preview.
  • Check that the cover moment still reads without sound.

Common dimension mistakes

Most Reels formatting issues come from treating a vertical video like a desktop canvas.

  • Putting captions too low in the frame.
  • Using tiny text that only reads on desktop.
  • Choosing a cover moment that looks unclear in a grid.
