Runs in your browser. Nothing you type or upload is sent anywhere.

A Story fills a phone screen: 1080 × 1920 pixels, a 9:16 ratio. Anything else is shown with a coloured background or cropped, depending on how it was added.

The top of the frame carries your name and the progress bar, and the bottom carries the reply field and buttons. Keep text and faces out of roughly the top 250 and bottom 340 pixels; the shaded bands in the preview mark them. The exact space varies by phone.

Can I post a landscape photo to a Story?
Yes, Instagram letterboxes it on a colour taken from the photo. Resizing here with Fit lets you choose that background yourself.
