What are the Instagram Post Sizes?

With Instagram uploads, you may choose among square, portrait, or landscape pictures. The bad news is that, unless you plan, your uploaded pictures crop arbitrarily, so do keep in mind the next sizes:

  • Instagram app size: 1080 x 1350 pixels, 4:5 aspect ratio.
  • Instagram post size: 1080 x 1080 pixels, 1:1 aspect ratio.
  • Instagram stories size: 1080 x 566 pixels, 1.91:1 aspect ratio.

Instagram now allows users to submit photographs in a 4:5 aspect ratio, besides square images. Just by tapping the bottom left icon of the post page, you can easily crop and resize your photo on Instagram into a particular frame. That doesn't always work flawlessly, though, so we have another option for you!
