Covers that match how Instagram crops.
Feed, carousel, and Reels each crop differently. Generate stills aimed at those ratios from the YouTube video you already have.
1:1 feed covers
Square stills for classic feed posts and carousel lead slides.
4:5 portrait covers
Taller frames that take more screen on mobile feed without looking like a letterboxed landscape.
Reels cover frames
Vertical stills you can set as the Reels cover before the clip plays.
Ship with caption drafts
Generate Reels and feed captions from the same YouTube URL so creative and copy stay in sync.

FAQ
Instagram cover generator FAQ.
Can I generate Instagram covers from YouTube for free?
Yes — paste a link to start. Free and paid plan limits for covers apply in TubeSeeks.
Which Instagram ratios are supported?
Drafts target common publishing ratios: 1:1 feed, 4:5 portrait, and vertical Reels covers. Preview on Instagram before you post.
Can I use a cover for carousels?
Yes. Use a square or 4:5 still as slide one, or generate multiple angles for a multi-slide carousel.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Shorts often map cleanly to Reels cover frames; expand crop choices when you also need a 1:1 feed still.
Do I need to download the video first?
No. Covers are generated from the link.
Is it okay to use any YouTube video?
Only use videos you own or have permission to reuse, and follow YouTube’s terms and copyright law.
