Does Instagram prefer JPG or PNG?

Instagram accepts both JPG and PNG but works best with JPG. Instagram re-compresses all uploaded images, and JPG files typically survive this re-compression better than PNG, resulting in a higher-quality final display.

What size should my Instagram image be?

Instagram feed post: 1080×1080px (square), 1080×1350px (portrait, 4:5), or 1080×566px (landscape, 1.91:1). Instagram Stories and Reels: 1080×1920px (9:16). Profile picture: 320×320px (displayed at 110×110px).

What JPG quality should I use for Instagram?

Use 90% quality. Higher quality (90%+) ensures your image stays sharp after Instagram's own compression pass. Going below 85% can result in noticeable quality loss after Instagram re-processes the image.

Why does Instagram blur my uploaded images?

Instagram re-compresses all images on upload. Uploading a high-quality JPG (90%+ quality) at the correct pixel dimensions gives Instagram's algorithm the most to work with and results in the sharpest final image.

Can I upload PNG directly to Instagram?

Yes, Instagram accepts PNG. However, JPG at 90% quality is smaller and often looks just as good after Instagram's re-compression. PNG files with transparency will have transparency removed by Instagram.
