Instagram Reel size
Reels are 1080 × 1920 (9:16). Make a cover at that size and see the 3:4 crop that shows on your profile grid, so the title on it isn't cut off.

Runs in your browser. Nothing you type or upload is sent anywhere.
Reels play full screen at 1080 × 1920. The cover image is the same size, but your profile grid only shows the middle of it as a 3:4 tile. A title near the top of the cover gets cut off on the grid.
Use the preview's grid crop to keep the important part in the middle. The resizer works with a still image; use it for the cover, not the video.

Can I upload a cover separately?
Yes. When you share a Reel, tap Edit cover and add one from your camera roll, then adjust the grid crop.
