Instagram feed in 4:5: how to use the space
In the feed, height counts: at the same width, a 4:5 video is 25% taller than a square one and fills more of the screen. This page covers the size, what the app covers and how a landscape video becomes a 4:5.
The size
4:5 vs 1:1
At the same width, 1080 × 1350 is 25% taller than 1080 × 1080. The picture does not get wider, it gets taller.
4:5 vs 16:9
A landscape video takes up only a narrow strip of the feed. 4:5 uses the height of the phone far better.
4:5 vs 9:16
9:16 is meant for Reels and Stories. For the feed, export 4:5 as a format of its own.
What the app covers
The feed also places controls over the picture. FrameJet assumes 85% of the area stays visible; in a Reel it is 69%. Keep important parts of the picture and text inside the safe zones the preview shows.
Turning a landscape video into 4:5
- Upload the video. At first only the format of the source is selected.
- Add the 4:5 format.
- Move the framing and check what stays visible in the preview. Alternatively the whole picture stays and the border is filled.
- Export. Add further formats with one click.
Export the video in 4:5
Choose 4:5 and adjust the framing. The preview shows what the app covers.
