Learn how long an IG Reel can be and how long you should make yours
If you want to grow your Instagram followers and boost your engagement, you have to try Instagram Reels! At least Reels don't disappear, as Stories do, so they are the best kind of catchy, short advertisement you can make. This wikiHow article discusses how long Instagram Reels can be and the optimal length of Reels for your goals.
Things You Should Know

- For example, if you're aiming to get attention from consumers, a short 2-10 second video is best.
- However, if you're trying to build connections with your audience, a 60-90 second Reel would work to tell a story.
