Instagram officially supports Reel aspect ratios between 1.91:1 and 9:16, with a minimum frame rate of 30 FPS and minimum resolution of 720 pixels.
That means 1080×1920 is our preferred full-screen vertical preset rather than an Instagram requirement.
Meta does not publish a single ideal bitrate for organic Reels in the documentation used here.
Our 12 Mbps setting remains a Daykyri recommendation.
