Questions
- What are the Instagram Story safe zones?
- Keep critical text roughly 250px from the top and 340px from the bottom on a 1080×1920 canvas. SumoSquish places text inside these bounds automatically.
- Is it the same for Reels?
- Reels add a right-side rail of controls and a bottom caption area. Keep text away from the lower-right as well.
Want the whole campaign, not just the size?
SumoSquish takes the same photo and returns every format with your logo, colors, a headline, your phone number and a call to action — plus captions.
