Instagram image sizes
Instagram supports horizontally and vertically oriented images as well as square images. This gives your brand more options but also makes image dimensions trickier to get right. Follow these guidelines for the best results.
Instagram profile picture size: 320 x 320 pixels
Instagram profile photos are displayed at 110 x 100 pixels, but the image files are stored at 320 x 320 pixels, so upload an image of at least this size.
Even though the dimensions are square, Instagram displays profile photos as circles. Make sure your important elements are in the center to avoid cropping.
Instagram post sizes (feed photos):
- Landscape: 1080 x 566 pixels
- Portrait: 1080 x 1350 pixels

- Supported aspect ratios: Anywhere between 1.91:1 and 4:5
- Recommended image size: Width of 1080 pixels, height between 566 and 1350 pixels (depending on landscape or portrait)
Tips:
- For the best Instagram images, upload an image that is 1080 pixels wide.
- If you upload an image larger than 1080 pixels, Instagram will downsize it to 1080 pixels.
- If you upload an image with a resolution lower than 320 pixels, Instagram will increase it to 320 pixels.
- Images between 320 and 1080 pixels wide will be kept at their original resolution as long as the aspect ratio is between 1.91:1 and 4:5.
- If the aspect ratio is different, Instagram will automatically crop the photo to fit a supported ratio.
