Compress Images for Instagram

Instagram compresses your photos automatically - often badly. Take control by pre-optimizing your images for perfect quality.

Tips for Instagram

1 Square 1:1 ratio for feed posts

2 4:5 portrait for maximum feed space

3 1080px width minimum for sharp images

4 Compress to under 1MB for fast uploads

1080x1080 pixels for square, 1080x1350 for portrait (4:5 ratio which takes up more screen space).

Instagram re-compresses large images. Upload already-optimized files under 1MB to prevent quality loss.

JPG at 80-85% quality. PNG files get converted to JPG anyway, losing quality in the process.

1080x1920 pixels (9:16 ratio). This fills the entire phone screen.
