Quick answer

Start with a vertical image, keep text and faces away from the edges, and preview the cover in Instagram before publishing.

Instagram Reel covers can appear in vertical and cropped preview contexts, so safe center placement matters.

Connects platform guidance to the browser editor.

Helps avoid awkward crops and oversized uploads.

Placement

Instagram Reel covers can appear in vertical and cropped preview contexts, so safe center placement matters.

Do not edit the only copy of your image. Keep the original before using this page.
Do not judge the result by file size alone. Open the downloaded image and check important details.
Do not place faces, logos, or text at the outer edge. Platform previews can crop differently across devices.

Prepare a profile image, post, banner, thumbnail, listing, or cover image before uploading to the platform.
Make one version for the exact placement instead of reusing a random crop from another network.
Preview the image after upload when the platform provides a preview screen.
