Instagram Image Size Guide
Getting the right image dimensions for Instagram is crucial for presenting polished, professional content. Instagram supports several different content formats, each with its own recommended dimensions. Using incorrectly sized images can result in awkward cropping, blurry photos, or wasted screen space that reduces engagement.
Recommended Instagram Sizes
- Square Post: 1080 × 1080 px (1:1 ratio) — The classic Instagram format
- Portrait Post: 1080 × 1350 px (4:5 ratio) — Maximizes screen real estate
- Landscape Post: 1080 × 566 px (1.91:1 ratio) — Wide format
- Stories & Reels: 1080 × 1920 px (9:16 ratio) — Full-screen vertical
Tips for Instagram Content
