FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best image size for Instagram posts?

The most reliable Instagram post size is 1080×1080px (1:1). See the full table above for Stories, profile, and cover sizes.

What aspect ratios does Instagram support?

Instagram supports 1:1, 4:5, 1.91:1, 9:16. Use the format that matches where the image appears.

Why does my Instagram image look blurry or cropped?

Usually the upload was too small or the wrong ratio, so the platform up-scaled or cropped it. Export at the exact pixel size in the table, then compress so the file uploads cleanly.
