Free Instagram Reel templates
Vertical templates for Reels that look finished the moment you open them. Change the words, add your footage and export a Reel-ready MP4.
About these templates
Reels are 9:16 and also show up as a 4:5 crop in the main feed, so the designs here keep the message in the middle of the frame where both views can see it. You will find photo-dump recaps, outfit-of-the-day frames, before-and-after reveals, product drops, recipe steps and quote cards, each animated and sized at 1080 × 1920. They suit creators, small shops and anyone who posts for a business account.
A good Reel template saves you from redoing the same title treatment every time. Open a design, type the new copy, replace the placeholder background with your clip or carousel of photos, and adjust the length to your audio. Because every element is a layer, you can keep the animated heading and delete the rest, or combine the opener from one template with the list from another. Export at 1080p and upload as a Reel from the Instagram app.

Make them work harder
Design for the feed crop too
Instagram shows Reels in the feed cropped to 4:5. Keep names, prices and the main line in the central safe zone; the templates already do, so avoid pushing text to the top or bottom edges.
Let your photos do the work
Several Reel templates are built for photo sequences. Drop in six to ten pictures, trim each to about a second, and let the frame and captions carry the rhythm.
Write the on-screen text for silent viewers
Many people watch Reels muted. If your point depends on a voiceover, repeat it in a text layer or add captions so the Reel still works with the sound off.
Questions? Answers.
What size should an Instagram Reel template be?
Reels are 9:16, or 1080 × 1920 pixels. Every template on this page is that size and exports as a 1080p MP4 that Instagram accepts as a Reel.
Can I use these Reel templates for free?
Yes. Create a free account, open any template and export in 1080p with a small watermark. Paid plans remove the watermark and Pro adds 4K.
Can I turn a Reel into a feed post or Story?
Yes. Magic Resize converts the design between 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 and moves the layers to fit, so one Reel becomes a square post in a moment.
