The channel banner is 2560 × 1440, with text and logos kept inside a small safe area. We read YouTube’s pages on 4 October 2026, then measured the files.Sahadat Husain
- SizesInstagram, Stories, ReelsInstagram story size and profile picture size (2026)The Instagram story size is 1080 × 1920 pixels, a 9:16 frame the shape of a phone screen. That number is Meta’s: its Stories ads help recommends it, and its publishing API recommends 9:16 for story images. Instagram’s own help pages state no story size and no profile picture size.
