9:16 · 1080×1920 · Crop, Blur or Bars · Split into Reels — Free, No Upload
Instagram Reels share TikTok's vertical format, so the same conversion serves both. This page covers the exact Reels dimensions, how to reframe a landscape clip so it fills the Reels player, and how to turn one long video into a batch of Reels-length clips you can schedule across the week.
Format any video for Reels — and TikTok and Shorts at the same time — without uploading it anywhere.
Open the converter →A Reel is a vertical video with a 9:16 aspect ratio at 1080 × 1920 pixels. That is the same target as TikTok and YouTube Shorts, which is why a single correctly formatted export can be posted to all three. Instagram displays the cover and feed previews at slightly different crops, but the video itself should always be 9:16 so it fills the full-screen Reels player without padding.
If your footage is landscape or square, choose how it fills the vertical frame. Cover crops to fill for a clean, immersive Reel — set the focus to keep faces or action in view. Blurred background keeps the whole frame and softens the edges into a blurred fill, the look most branded Reels use when repurposing wider content. Contain with a chosen bar color keeps every pixel for text-heavy or tutorial Reels. The preview shows the exact result before you export.
Instagram overlays the caption, profile and action buttons on the right and bottom of a Reel. Keep important visuals and on-screen text away from those edges so the interface does not cover them. When cropping, a Center or Top focus usually keeps the subject inside the safe zone; avoid placing key text in the lowest fifth of the frame.
Reels reward consistency, and a single long recording can feed weeks of posts. Use the split feature to cut a long source into 60- or 90-second clips, each already reframed to 9:16, and download them all in one ZIP. Trim the intro and outro first if your source has them, and choose whether the short final clip is kept, merged or dropped. Everything runs in your browser, so your footage is never uploaded to any service.
9:16 aspect ratio at 1080 × 1920 pixels — the same vertical format as TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Yes. A single 9:16, 1080 × 1920 export works on Reels, TikTok and Shorts because all three use the vertical full-screen format.
Up to 90 seconds in the standard format, longer in some placements. Splitting a long video into 60–90 second clips fits the format cleanly.
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser; nothing is sent to a server until you upload the finished file to Instagram yourself.
