Instagram Reel
Instagram Reels are 1080 × 1920 pixels in 9:16. The app covers about 270 pixels at the top, 670 at the bottom and 65 on each side, which leaves a safe zone of about 950 × 980 pixels.

The buttons on the right reach higher than the bottom area.
We place subtitles centered between the safe zone and the profile name, no wider than about 620 pixels, so they stay clear of the buttons.
For ads, Meta recommends the same strict safe zone for both Reels and Stories.
