Instagram Reel Cover Resizer is a browser-based image tool on ImgToolsBase.

How this tool works
Editable preset
The width and height start at 1080 × 1920 and can be changed to any size. Instagram Reel Cover Resizer always reports the final dimensions in the result panel.
Fit and crop focus
Cover fills the frame and may crop (the crop focus chooses which part is kept); Contain shows the whole image with padding; Stretch ignores the aspect ratio.
Format, quality, size
Pick JPG, PNG, WebP, or same-as-input, set the quality, and optionally a target file size. JPG fills transparency with the background color.
Verify before you post
Instagram Reel Cover Resizer is an independent browser tool and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. Confirm the current Instagram requirements, since sizes vary by placement and device. Re-encoding removes metadata.
Instagram Reel Cover Resizer in your browser
Instagram Reel Cover Resizer resizes a Reel cover to a common Instagram Reel cover size (1080 × 1920), a size commonly used on Instagram. The dimensions are pre-filled and fully editable, so you can keep the common size or type your own, and the result panel always shows the final pixel dimensions.
Choose how the image fills the frame: Cover fills it and may crop the edges (use the crop-focus control to keep the important part, such as a face), Contain shows the whole image with padding, and Stretch ignores the aspect ratio. Output can be JPG (a common social default), PNG or WebP (which keep transparency when the background is set to Transparent), or the same format as the input (JPG, PNG, or WebP), and JPG fills transparent areas with your background color. A Reel cover is shown full-screen at 1080×1920 but is cropped to a smaller rectangle in the profile grid, so keep titles and faces centered; a full-screen vs grid preview is a planned enhancement.
This is an independent browser tool and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta — Instagram sizes change and can vary by placement and device, so verify the current requirements before uploading. Re-encoding strips EXIF and other metadata, and animated GIFs are exported as a single still frame.

Why use this tool
Instagram Reel Cover Resizer starts at 1080 × 1920 and shows the final dimensions, so you can keep the common size or set your own and verify before upload.
Cover fills the Instagram frame with a crop focus (center, top, bottom, left, or right) so a face or logo in your Reel cover is not lost; Contain keeps the whole image with padding.
Export your Reel cover as JPG, PNG, WebP, or the same format, set the quality, and optionally aim for a target file size, then verify the achieved result before uploading to Instagram.
Your Reel cover is processed in your browser with the HTML canvas and is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Is Instagram Reel Cover Resizer an official Instagram tool?
No. Instagram Reel Cover Resizer is an independent browser tool and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. Sizes and rules can change, so always verify the current Instagram upload requirements before you post.
Are my files uploaded to a server by Instagram Reel Cover Resizer?
No. The resize happens in your browser using the HTML canvas, and your Reel cover is never sent to imgtoolsbase or any server.
Can I change the size in Instagram Reel Cover Resizer instead of using the 1080 × 1920 preset?
Yes. Instagram Reel Cover Resizer pre-fills the width and height with 1080 × 1920, but both are fully editable, so you can enter any custom size and the result panel shows the dimensions actually produced.
With Instagram Reel Cover Resizer, how do I control which part is cropped?
Instagram Reel Cover Resizer lets you use Contain to keep the whole Reel cover with padding, or keep Cover and set the crop focus (for example Top) so the important part of your Reel cover stays in frame.
Will my Reel cover look the same in the grid?
Not exactly. Instagram shows the full 1080×1920 cover when the Reel plays, but crops it to a smaller rectangle in the profile grid. Keep titles and faces near the center; a full-screen vs grid preview is planned.
