Instagram Reel Cover Maker
The Instagram reel cover is the tile on the profile grid that followers judge before they tap, in the feed, the Reels tab and the profile grid. Below is the exact Instagram reel cover workflow — Reel Cover Maker at 9:16 · 1080×1920, then the one or two chained tools that finish the job — and a button that opens the Studio with all of it prefilled.
Instagram audiences respond to an Instagram reel cover that is polished, cohesive and colour-matched to the grid, so that is where the preset starts. Every result lands in your rail, where an Instagram reel cover can be edited with a sentence, reframed for another platform, upscaled or animated without starting over.
What this fixes
- Your Instagram reel covers are the first frame, blurry and mid-blink
- The Instagram reel cover title hides under the view count
- The reels tab on Instagram looks like a random pile instead of a series
- You want your face on the Instagram reel cover without editing per reel

Where should the title sit on a Instagram reel cover?
In the central band — Instagram overlays its own UI on the top and bottom of a vertical reel cover, so the tool keeps the words in the middle 60%.
Which size does the Instagram reel cover come out at?
9:16 · 1080×1920 — the Instagram reel cover tool is locked to that ratio; use Reframe on the result for any other platform.
What does an Instagram reel cover cost?
An Instagram reel cover is 2 credits at Standard from a title or description, 4 from one photo, more at Pro and Max. New accounts start with 4 free credits, so the first Instagram reel cover is on the house.
