What size is an Instagram story?
An Instagram story or reel is 1080 by 1920 pixels, a 9:16 ratio. Instagram covers roughly 250 pixels at the top and 250 at the bottom with its own interface, so keep text inside the middle 1420 pixels.

The safe area
Only a centred 1080 × 1420 region of this 1080 × 1920 image is safe. Instagram lays its own interface over the top and bottom of every story. Anything outside that box can be cut or covered, so the headline, the logo and every word you need read belong inside it.
The username sits top left and the reply bar sits bottom. Both are outside the safe box.
