Resize a video to 1080x1350, the 4:5 portrait frame for Instagram feed posts.
Why 4:5 and not 9:16
4:5 is the tallest shape a feed post is allowed to be. It takes more vertical space on a phone than a square, which pushes competing posts further down the screen, and it does so without the platform cropping anything.
9:16 belongs to Stories and Reels, which are full-screen surfaces. A 1080x1920 clip sent to the feed gets cut down on arrival, and the framing you chose is not the framing that survives.
Coming from other shapes
| Source | What is cut | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| 1920x1080 | cuts 528 px from each side, keeps 864 of 1920 columns | picture 1080x608, 371 px of background top and bottom |
| 1080x1080 | scales up and cuts 20% of the width | picture 1080x1080, 135 px top and bottom |
| 1080x1920 | 285 px from the top and bottom | the full width, which already matches |
Safe areas
The caption, the username, and the action row sit below a feed video rather than over it, so the whole frame is usable. That is the practical advantage over a Story, where the bottom fifth is covered.
Text burned into the bottom of a 4:5 clip still risks being clipped in the grid preview, which crops the post back to a square. Keep anything critical inside the middle 1080x1080.
