Optimizing Video Formats for Instagram Reels, Stories, and Feeds
Instagram is primarily a mobile-first platform. Posting horizontal videos with giant black bars results in lower tap-through and watch-time metrics compared to immersive vertical video.
WayToVideo simplifies Instagram formatting with dedicated 9:16 vertical and 1:1 square canvas presets. Frame your content properly, add burned-in captions, and export directly to your smartphone.
