About Instagram Reels
Discover the amazing potential of Instagram Reels and use it to captivate your audience, enhance engagement and showcase your unique story in a visually stunning and dynamic format. With Sendible, you can easily publish your own Instagram Reels and make the most out of this exciting feature.
Quick Facts

- Direct-published Reels can only use original audio due to API restrictions.
- Instagram Reels are included in the Instagram Quick Reports.
- You can add up to 30 hashtags to the Reel.
- Videos used in Instagram Reels should be more than 5 but less than 90 seconds long and must not exceed 1920 px wide. The recommended aspect ratio is 9:16 to avoid cropping or letterboxing.
Caution: Instagram restrictions only allow one Reel to be scheduled at a time.
Note: Reels can be found in your Quick Reports, specifically in the Top Posts section. However, these Reels must have been published after the profile had been added to Sendible.
