Built for the Reels workflow
- Reel-length presets: 15s, 30s, 60s, 90s — tap once, get a full batch of clips.
- Exact 9:16 output: 1080×1920 H.264, the native Reels format. No black bars, no stretch.
- Highlight cuts: drop markers on the timeline to pull the best moments out of a long recording.
- Series-ready: download everything as one ZIP and drip-feed Reels across the week.
A practical Reels routine
Record once — a vlog, a gameplay session, a tutorial. Split it into 30-second vertical clips. Post the strongest moment first, then release the rest as a series with "part 2" hooks. Because every clip is watermark-free and full-quality, they look native, not recycled.
FAQ
What size should Instagram Reels clips be?
Reels are 1080×1920 (9:16). Recordings up to 3 minutes are supported. The Shorts Studio re-encodes your clips to true 1080×1920 with 9:16 Crop or 9:16 Blur BG, so horizontal footage becomes Reel-ready.
How do I split a video into parts for Instagram Reels?
Open the Shorts Studio, drop in your video, and use the Every X sec mode with a 15s, 30s, or 60s preset — or place custom cut points for highlights. Split once, download all clips as a ZIP, and upload them as a Reels series.
Will Instagram compress my clips?
Instagram always re-compresses uploads, so starting from the highest quality helps. Use the High quality setting in the studio's 9:16 mode to give Instagram the cleanest possible source file.
