Fit a photo to 9:16 for Stories and Reels
9:16 is the full-screen vertical shape behind Stories, Reels, Shorts and TikTok covers. Almost no camera shoots that tall, so a horizontal photo dropped into a Story either sits in a black band or is enlarged until the subject walks out of the frame. Padding it yourself means you choose what fills the band — a colour, a gradient, or a second photo.
