How to use this tool

Carousel Safe Zones

Instagram carousels support two main aspect ratios:

  • 4:5 Portrait (1080 × 1350 px): The standard feed ratio.
  • 9:16 Vertical (1080 × 1920 px): Displayed when carousels push into the Reels tab feed.

Critical text and branding elements should avoid the top profile bar (first 100px), bottom caption/indicators (bottom 150px), and the right action list to prevent information from being blocked by app UI overlays.

Common Inquiries

Frequently Asked Questions

Understand Instagram feed visibility guidelines.

How does the 1:1 grid crop preview help?

On your Instagram profile grid, all photos are cropped to a square (1:1 aspect ratio) centered on the visual. If your carousel cover slide has text at the very top or bottom, the grid view will crop it out, which can look unprofessional. Testing the crop ensures your profile grid remains clean and readable.
