Threads Story Image Resize
A Threads story is a full-screen vertical piece of content that stays visible for 24 hours on the Threads app — an effective format for sharing everyday moments or real-time updates with your followers. The recommended size is 1080×1920px at a 9:16 aspect ratio, identical to Instagram Stories, so a single image works on both platforms. Profile information overlays the top and the reply UI overlays the bottom, so keep key text and logos within the center 75% safe zone. Upload your image, adjust the position in the live preview, and this tool crops it to exactly 1080×1920px for instant JPG download.

FAQ
Are Threads and Instagram story sizes the same?
Yes, both use 1080×1920px (9:16). A single image works for stories on both platforms.
Why does the top and bottom of my story get covered?
Profile information overlays the top and the reply UI overlays the bottom. Place important content in the center of the image to keep it visible.
What exactly is the safe area for story content?
About 250px at the top and 200px at the bottom are covered by UI elements. Keep key content within the center 75% (roughly 1080×1440px) to stay safe on both platforms.
What happens if I upload a landscape photo as a story?
Landscape images end up with large letterbox bars or get auto-zoomed to fill the vertical screen. Crop to 9:16 (1080×1920px) with this tool for edge-to-edge coverage.
Is there a file size limit for Threads story images?
You can upload up to 30MB, but keeping files between 2–4MB ensures fast loading. Saving as JPG reduces file size while maintaining good visual quality.
