Instagram Image Size Tips

Use 1080px width minimum

Instagram compresses images below 1080px. Always upload at 1080px width or higher for the sharpest quality in the feed.

Portrait posts get more screen space

A 4:5 portrait (1080 × 1350px) takes up 25% more screen real estate in the feed than a square post, increasing engagement.

Save as JPG for photos, PNG for text

Use JPG for photographs to minimize file size. Use PNG when your image contains text, logos, or sharp edges to avoid compression artifacts.

Design Reels covers at 9:16

Reels cover images display at 9:16 in the Reels tab but are cropped to 1:1 on your profile grid. Keep key elements centered.

Keep carousel images consistent

All images in a carousel share the same aspect ratio as the first image. Prepare all slides at the same dimensions before uploading.
