How the result works

Different Instagram placements use different aspect ratios. A square feed image uses 1:1, portrait feed commonly uses 4:5, landscape feed uses about 1.91:1 and stories use 9:16. Platform behavior can change, so preview important posts in the current app before publishing.

  • Use 4:5 to occupy more vertical feed space
  • Keep important details away from story edges
  • Enhance the original before resizing and export once

Common questions

What size should an Instagram portrait be?

What is the Instagram Story size?

Why does an uploaded photo look soft?

A weak source, repeated exports, unsuitable dimensions or platform compression can reduce visible detail.
