Frequently asked questions
What are Instagram video size limits?
Instagram accepts large files (several GB for Reels), so the size limit is rarely the problem: the quality after Instagram's own compression is. Stories are cut into 60-second segments.
Why do my Instagram videos look blurry after uploading?
Instagram recompresses videos on upload. Uploading at 1080p with a high bitrate minimizes this. Our Instagram preset is optimized for this.
What is the best resolution for Instagram Reels?
1080×1920 (vertical 9:16) for Reels and Stories. 1080×1080 (square) or 1080×1350 (portrait 4:5) for Feed.
Does the tool add a watermark?
Never. All tools on AwesomeToolkit are watermark-free.
