Instagram story maker
Import a photo and generate an Instagram story in the exact vertical format (1080 x 1920 px, 9:16 ratio), cropped and centered to fill the whole phone screen with no black bars.
How it works
Instagram stories fill the entire phone screen at a 9:16 ratio, i.e. 1080 x 1920 pixels. A regular landscape or square photo posted as is ends up surrounded by black or blurred bars. This tool scales up and centers your image so that it fills this vertical frame exactly.
Is part of the image hidden by the Instagram interface?
Yes, the top of the screen shows the account name and timestamp, and the bottom holds the reply bar and any stickers. Keep the essential elements (faces, important text) in the central area of the image rather than at the very top or bottom.
Can I reuse this story for a Reel or a YouTube Short?
Yes, the 1080 x 1920 (9:16) format is the same for stories, Instagram Reels, TikTok videos and YouTube Shorts, so the image generated here fits those formats directly with no further editing.
No data is sent to a server: the cropping happens entirely in your browser.
