Make your photos fit.

Resize photos for Instagram

Instagram shows photos at up to 1080 pixels wide. Resizing first means faster uploads and you control how the photo is scaled.

Format

JPG works everywhere. WebP is smaller. PNG keeps transparency but is large. iPhone HEIC photos are saved as JPG.

How it works

Anything larger than about 1080 pixels gets scaled down by Instagram anyway. Doing it yourself with high-quality resizing avoids an extra round of compression on a big file.

This page fits photos within 1080 pixels on the longest side at quality 88 and keeps the shape of your photo. Crop to square or portrait in your phone's editor first if you want a specific shape.

Questions

Will this crop my photo?

No. It keeps your photo's shape and only makes it smaller. Crop first if you want square or 4:5 portrait.

Does it work for Stories?

Yes. Portrait Story photos come out 1080 pixels tall on the longest side. If you want them 1080 wide, set the longest side to 1920.

Can I resize a whole carousel at once?

Yes. Add all the photos and download them as a ZIP.
