Instagram Story Resizer (1080×1920 pixels)
Crop and resize to 1080×1920 for Instagram Story. Cover vs contain is a real choice: crop into the frame, or pad so nothing is cut.
Instagram Story Resizer is a size preset, not a generic resizer with the platform name glued on. The canvas is 1080×1920 pixels. Default fit is fill-and-crop.
Platforms change recommended sizes. Confirm the current spec if you are running ads. This page matches a widely used feed/story thumbnail size, not a guarantee from Instagram, YouTube or Meta.

Crop versus pad
Fill and crop (cover) keeps the frame packed and may cut heads at the edge. Fit inside (contain) shows the whole photo and adds the pad colour in the gaps.
Output pixels: 1080×1920 pixels.
