Instagram feed video size: how to make a 4:5 video on iPhone

A video in the Instagram feed gets the most room when it's 4:5 portrait — taller than a square, so it fills more of the screen as people scroll. Here's the size to use, how to turn any clip or several clips into a 4:5 video on iPhone, and how to keep the important part visible in the profile grid.

Short answer: the best size for a video in the Instagram feed is 4:5 portrait, 1080×1350 pixels (2160×2700 in 4K). In Video Grid Collage, tap Feed under Instagram on the start screen — or 4:5 in the Format section — add your clips and export. For a single clip, start from Single video and choose 4:5 under Aspect.

The profile grid shows a 3:4 preview of feed posts, so thin strips at the left and right edges of a 4:5 video are hidden there.

Step by step

01

Start a 4:5 project

Open Video Grid Collage (free on the App Store). On the start screen, tap Feed under Instagram — Facebook's Feed preset is 4:5 too — or tap 4:5 in the Format section. For a single clip, tap a frame under Single video at the bottom of the start screen instead.

02

Add your clips

Pick one video or several — up to 9 play at once, and each cell can play several clips in a row. In a Single video project, tap Aspect afterwards and choose 4:5.

03

Fit every clip

Drag a clip inside its cell to choose what stays in view and pinch to zoom. A single clip can sit fully in the frame, with a color, a photo or another video behind it under Background.

04

Add a title and music

Tap Text for a headline — keep it in the middle of the frame — and Insert → Audio for a song.

05

Export and post

Export in 1080p (1080×1350) or 4K (2160×2700), then post it to your Instagram or Facebook feed.
