Instagram is very strict about the size of your stories and if you upload a photo or video to your Instagram story that does not fit the required dimensions.

Instagram will crop and sometimes zoom into your photo or video. This can diminish the quality and sometimes this cuts out important visuals.

However, some people have complained about the uploading time.

In order to solve this problem, you can keep the 9:16 aspect ratio by sizing to 900px x 1600px or 720px x 1280px for faster loading times.

If you choose to upload photos and videos using a different aspect ratio, some of the picture will get cropped off.
