Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories can bring your business to life in an immersive format, with options to add stickers, emojis and other creative elements. These fullscreen vertical ads appear to viewers between organic Instagram Stories.

You can use the image format in Instagram Stories to show off your product, service or brand. Choose an interesting image of a product to encourage people to learn more about it, or use an eye-catching photo to showcase your brand personality.

Image ads in Instagram Stories may vary between 5-16 seconds or until the user swipes out of the Story.

Design Recommendations

  • Image File Type: JPG or PNG
  • Ratio: 9:16
  • Resolution: At least 1080 x 1080 pixels

Consider leaving roughly 14% (250 pixels) of the top and 20% (340 pixels) of the bottom of the image free from text, logos, or other key creative elements to avoid covering them with the profile icon or call-to-action.

Text Recommendations

  • Primary Text: 125 characters

Technical Requirements

  • Maximum File Size: 30MB
  • Minimum Width: 500 pixels
  • Aspect Ratio Tolerance: 1%

All ads must comply with our Advertising Policies.
