Instagram Reel Resolution Preparation Checklist

Resolution alone does not make a Reel ready. A good Reel also needs safe placement, readable cover text, and a caption that matches the video.

Instagram Reel resolution and safe area preparation diagram.
Example: resolution is only one check; safe-area readability matters too.

Design for vertical mobile viewing

Use a vertical-first composition and keep the main subject inside a safe central area.

Avoid edge-heavy text

Important text near the bottom or side edges can be covered by interface elements or cropped in previews.
