Resize Image For Instagram
Built on the Image Resizer — free, private, no signup.
Key specs
- Instagram feed posts: 1080 × 1080 px (square, 1:1) or 1080 × 1350 px (portrait, 4:5 — Meta now prioritizes portrait feed posts).
- Instagram Stories and Reels covers: 1080 × 1920 px (9:16).
- Profile photos: 320 × 320 px minimum (displayed at 110 × 110 px).
How to do it
- Open the Image Resizer and load your photo.
- Pick the "Instagram Post" preset (1080 × 1080) — or enter 1080 × 1350 for a portrait post.
- If the crop cuts off something important, adjust the crop offset before resizing.
- Download the PNG for graphics, or JPG at quality ~85% for photos.
Constraints to know
- Widths below 320 px can be upscaled by Instagram and look soft.
- Verticals wider than 4:5 get cropped to 4:5 in feed preview.
- Keep faces inside the middle ~80% of the frame so crop previews stay safe.
If something looks wrong
- Blurry result? Your source was smaller than 1080 px wide — upscaling cannot restore detail; reshoot or export larger.
- Cropped weirdly in feed? You uploaded a 16:9 landscape; reformat to 4:5 or 1:1 first.
- Colors shifted after upload? Export sRGB; Instagram assumes sRGB.
Questions
What size should an Instagram post be in 2026?
1080 × 1080 px for square or 1080 × 1350 px for portrait (4:5), which Meta prioritizes in feed. Stories use 1080 × 1920 px.
Does Instagram compress photos?
Yes — like every large platform, Instagram re-compresses uploads. Uploading at the recommended size in sRGB minimizes visible loss.
Is 1080 × 1350 the same as 4:5?
Yes: 1080 ÷ 1350 = 0.8, which is exactly the 4:5 ratio.
