| Setting | When to use it |
|---|---|
| A 1080 x 1920 Story image 1080 x 1920 px | Start here with a clear source photo. Leave room around key text and faces for the Story interface. |
| A smaller 720 x 1280 image 720 x 1280 px | Keep the same 9:16 shape with fewer pixels. Compare this option if the larger file is more than you need. |
Canvas size. Both presets have a 9:16 shape. A wide photo needs a large crop to fill it. Fit keeps the whole scene with space around it.

A few things to know.
A wide photo needs a large crop to fill a tall frame. Try Fit if you want to keep the full scene.
Leave room around key words and faces. Preview your image with the buttons and text in the Story editor.
Keep a copy of the source photo. A tall Story crop may not work well for your next square post.
Your questions, answered.
What shape does the Story image preset create?
It creates a 1080 x 1920 image with a 9:16 shape. This is a tall canvas you can use to prepare a still image for a Story.
Why is part of my photo missing in the Story preview?
Fill crops a photo to cover the tall frame. Switch to Fit to keep the full image with space around it. Check the final Story preview in Instagram too.
