Part 1: Available Video Formats in Instagram

Instagram is a mobile application that supports iOS, Windows Phone, and Android, allowing users to take photos at any situation and share them to the platforms, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Weibo. At first, Instagram was a photo app, but now it is becoming an advanced and popular platform including plentiful audio and video contents.

Mainly, Instagram video is divided into Instagram Feed and Instagram Story.

1. Instagram Feed

Users can share their daily life on Instagram Feed. It is noted that the video length should be less than 60 seconds. Before uploading the video to Instagram Feed, we can adjust the video format.

Ideal aspect ratio of Instagram Feed video:

Square video: Between 600*600 pixels and 1080*1080 pixels (1:1 aspect ratio)

Landscape video (vertical): Between 600*315 pixels and 1080*566 pixels (1.9:1 aspect ratio)

Portrait video (horizontal): Between 600*750 pixels and 1080*1350 pixels (4:5 aspect ratio)

Recommended formats: .mp4/.mov, up to 4GB and 30fps, less than 60 seconds

2. Instagram Story

Users can add captions, text and draw in the video, and then share in Snapshot. These videos will disappear after 24 hours, unless you add them into the Snapshot collection.
