how to resize image for instagram
- drop one or more images on the box above.
- pick a preset such as instagram post or youtube thumbnail, or type your own width and height.
- lock the aspect ratio to keep proportions, or unlock it and choose how to handle a different shape.
- choose png, jpg or webp and download the image, or the zip for a batch.
instagram posts are shown at 1080 pixels wide. a square is 1080 × 1080, a portrait is 1080 × 1350 and a landscape is 1080 × 566. this preset starts from the square and crops the sides of your photo to fill it. switch to fit inside with bars if you want the whole photo and a white or colored border instead.
portrait 4:5 posts take up the most space in the feed, so they often get more attention than squares. use the 1080 × 1350 button for that. upload jpg at quality 90 or higher: instagram recompresses everything, and starting from a clean file reduces visible blocking.

frequently asked questions
what is the best size for an instagram post?
1080 × 1350 px (4:5) uses the most screen space and is the best for photos. 1080 × 1080 (1:1) is the classic square. instagram scales anything wider than 1080 px down.
will instagram crop my photo?
the feed shows square and 4:5 images fully, but profile grid previews crop to the center. keep faces and text away from the edges to be safe.
how do i keep the whole photo without cropping?
unlock the aspect ratio, then choose fit inside and add bars. the photo is scaled to fit the square and the leftover space is filled with the bar color you pick.
