Upload a 1080×1920 cover and Instagram shows the middle 1080×1440 on your profile. The preset below draws that box so nothing important gets chopped.

A reel cover is shown in two very different places. In the reel itself and in the Reels tab it is full-screen 9:16. On your profile grid it becomes a 3:4 tile, cut from the centre. Titles placed near the top or bottom of the 9:16 frame disappear from the grid, which is where most people first see your reel.
Design for the 3:4 centre: put the title, the face and the product inside the box drawn on the preview, and use the top and bottom margins for background only.
Cover images get the same compression as stories. Export at exactly 1080×1920, keep the file under about 1.5 MB, and avoid thin outlined text, which turns to noise after Instagram's encode. The preset sharpens lightly after the resize so letters keep clean edges.
1080×1920 pixels (9:16), with the important content inside the centre 1080×1440 so it survives the profile grid crop.
Yes. Open the reel, tap the three dots, choose Edit, then Edit cover. You can upload a new image from your camera roll.
The profile grid displays a 3:4 tile taken from the centre of the 9:16 cover. Keep titles and faces inside that centre box.
