It's important to note that our system does not automatically resize or crop landscape images for portrait formats, or vice versa; therefore, please ensure that you upload background images in the specified ratios and sizes detailed below. When creating a new theme, both portrait and story templates are activated by default. However, you have the flexibility to choose which templates to make available to your stakeholders by deselecting them in the Channels section of the dashboard. Please remember that when Instagram is included as a sharing option, you **must** have at least one template selected. ### **4:5 template** This template serves as the default option for Instagram, and it is automatically activated in the channel section of the platform. It is essential to upload your background image in a 4:5 aspect ratio with dimensions of 1080 x 1350 pixels. ![Screenshot 2026-09-09 at 17.22.22](https://resources.gleanin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-09-09%20at%2017.22.22.png?width=670&height=714&name=Screenshot%202026-09-09%20at%2017.22.22.png) ### **16:9 template** The Instagram Story template will be automatically enabled when you create a new theme. Be sure to upload your background image in a 16:9 aspect ratio, with dimensions of 1080 x 1920 pixels. For existing campaigns, you must first enable the Instagram Story option in the Channels section of the dashboard. Additionally, you will need to create a new theme and select the story option to use this template. ![Screenshot 2025-06-06 at 07.04.46](https://resources.gleanin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-06%20at%2007.04.46.png?width=670&height=762&name=Screenshot%202025-06-06%20at%2007.04.46.png) ### **1:1 template - legacy campaigns** This template is the old default option for Instagram. If you are still using old campaigns and are unable to create new ones with the 4:5 template,  it is essential to upload your background image in a 1:1 aspect ratio with dimensions of 1040 x 1040 pixels. ![Screenshot 2025-06-10 at 08.09.13](https://resources.gleanin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-10%20at%2008.09.13.png?width=670&height=557&name=Screenshot%202025-06-10%20at%2008.09.13.png) ### **4:5 grid preview - legacy campaigns with 1:1 templates** On the legacy campaigns with 1:1 square templates, we have adjusted the default positioning of elements to ensure that nothing is cut off in the new 4:5 grid preview. To view how your square template will appear in the 4:5 grid ratio, select the corresponding option in the template editor (available for speaker and exhibitor campaigns only). ![Screenshot 2025-06-06 at 06.51.24](https://resources.gleanin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-06%20at%2006.51.24.png?width=670&height=465&name=Screenshot%202025-06-06%20at%2006.51.24.png) --- For additional guidance on creating your design assets, please refer to the sections below: [Speaker Campaign](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/how-should-i-design-my-custom-backgrounds-for-speaker-campaigns?hsLang=en) [Exhibitor Campaign](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/how-should-i-design-my-custom-backgrounds-for-exhibitor-campaigns?hsLang=en) [Attendee Campaign](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/using-custom-background?hsLang=en#attendee-campaign-style) - [Asset creation](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/asset-creation?hsLang=en) - [Upload and data](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/upload-and-data?hsLang=en) - [Running your campaign](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/running-your-campaign?hsLang=en) - [Managing your account](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/managing-your-account?hsLang=en) - [Reporting](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/reporting?hsLang=en) - [Integrations & advanced features](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/integrations-advanced-features?hsLang=en) - [Tutorials](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/tutorials?hsLang=en) - [Common questions](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/common-questions?hsLang=en) - [Best practice](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/best-practice?hsLang=en) - [Product updates](https://resources.gleanin.com/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en) [![03\_Gleanin\_Logo\_RGB\_Violet](https://resources.gleanin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/03_Gleanin_Logo_RGB_Violet.png?width=120&height=37&name=03_Gleanin_Logo_RGB_Violet.png "03_Gleanin_Logo_RGB_Violet")](https://gleanin.com/) Copyright © 2026 Gleanin
