What are Instagram stories ads design requirements

There are six different ad placements on Instagram: Stories, Feed, Explore, In-stream video, Reels and Shop. While all Feed dimensions are supported, we recommend using a 9:16 aspect ratio to fit the fullscreen vertical format of Stories.
Note that for Meta Advantage+ catalog ads (formerly known as dynamic ads), we recommend using a 1.91:1 aspect ratio.

 



To ensure you're creating high-quality ads on Instagram, keep the following design requirements in mind:
