Facebook Story Image Resize
A Facebook Story is vertical full-screen content displayed at the top of profiles for 24 hours, with a recommended image size of 1080×1920px (9:16 ratio). Profile info overlaps the top ~14% and the reply bar covers the bottom ~20%, so key content should sit in the center 60–70%. The spec matches Instagram Stories, letting you reuse the same image on both platforms. This tool crops even landscape photos to 9:16 and saves them as JPG instantly.

FAQ
Can I use a landscape photo for a Story?
Technically yes, but it will have large blank areas above and below. Cropping to 9:16 with this tool lets you fill the entire screen for better impact.
Are Facebook Story and Instagram Story the same size?
Yes, both platforms recommend 1080×1920px (9:16). You can use the same image for both, saving production time.
Where is the safe area in a Story?
Profile info overlaps the top ~14% and the reply bar covers the bottom ~20%. Place text and CTA buttons within the center 60–70% for safety.
What is the max file size for a Story image?
You can upload up to 30MB. However, a JPG of 5MB or less loads faster and reduces viewer drop-off.
How long does a Story stay visible?
Stories appear at the top of your profile for 24 hours. After that they disappear automatically but can be viewed again in the Story archive.
