Sharing videos on Instagram is not easy, and can be a bit tricky, whether you want to resize a video for Instagram story, post, or reel, all have their own standard sizes. A perfect video in one format can look cropped or distorted in another. LightX’s Instagram video resizer can fit all your videos into their correct sizes without losing image quality like a professional.

Instagram uses different aspect ratios for each format:

Posts: Square (1:1) or vertical (4:5) for the feed.
Stories: Vertical (9:16) for immersive viewing.
Reels: Full-screen vertical (9:16) to capture attention.


If you upload a video in the wrong size, Instagram automatically crops or compresses it, which can remove the important parts of your content. LightX converts video into reel, post, and story, ensuring it looks exactly how you want it.
