What size should my Instagram image be?

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

Does Instagram resize my images automatically?

Yes — Instagram re-compresses and may crop images that are not the correct ratio. Uploading at the correct pixel dimensions gives you control over how the image is displayed and results in sharper output.

Should I use JPG or PNG for Instagram?

JPG at 90% quality is generally recommended for Instagram. Instagram re-compresses all uploads, and JPG handles this re-compression better for photographs. PNG can be used but may not result in better quality after Instagram's processing.

What is the maximum file size for Instagram uploads?

Instagram supports images up to 8MB for feed posts and up to 4MB for Stories. At typical Instagram dimensions (1080px wide), well-compressed JPGs are usually well below these limits.

Why does my Instagram photo look blurry after uploading?

Blurry Instagram images are usually caused by uploading at the wrong pixel dimensions or with a low-quality compression setting. Upload at 1080px wide with 90% JPG quality for the sharpest results.

What is the Instagram carousel image size?

Instagram carousel posts use the same sizes as regular feed posts: 1080×1080px (square), 1080×1350px (portrait), or 1080×566px (landscape). All images in a carousel should use the same aspect ratio.
