Remember that Reels shown on the main Instagram feed are cropped to 4:5 ratio (top and bottom cut off). Keep the most crucial action centered vertically if you want it visible on the main feed.

📱Tips for perfect Reels

✔The bottom 28% of the screen is completely covered by your username, caption, and the audio scroller.
✔The right edge is covered by interactive buttons. Never place pointing arrows or crucial text on the right side.
✔If posting to your main grid, keep the core action within the 4:5 constraints so your grid looks clean.
