Hey, I get it. You're scrolling through Instagram and suddenly your Stories look huge.
What's going on?
Let me break it down for you.
1. Instagram Updates
Instagram constantly updates its app.
These updates sometimes tweak the size of Story icons and elements.
You might be seeing an effect of one of these updates.
2. Device Display Settings
Your phone's display settings can impact how images and videos appear.
If you’ve recently changed settings like zoom or text size, it can mess with the appearance of your Stories.
3. Image and Video Aspect Ratios
If your Stories don’t follow the standard 9:16 aspect ratio, Instagram might stretch or crop them.
This can make them look bigger or out of place.
Use a tool like Instasize to make sure your images and videos are at the perfect aspect ratio.
Boom. Problem solved.
Instasize does more than just resizing.
It also offers:
Everything you need to make sure your Stories look top-notch.
Q: Why does my Instagram Story still look big after resizing?
A: Make sure you're using the correct aspect ratio (9:16). Use tools like Instasize for precise adjustments.
Q: Can I change the appearance of Instagram Stories on my account only?
A: No, Instagram updates affect all users. You can only adjust how you prepare and upload your content.
Q: Do different devices display Instagram Stories differently?
A: Yes, Instagram Stories can appear differently across various devices due to screen size and resolution.
There you have it – quick and easy fixes.
