Instagram image sizes
| Format | Aspect ratio | Recommended size |
|---|---|---|
| Feed portrait | 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 px |
| Feed square | 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 px |

Portrait 4:5 takes the most space in the feed, which is why most accounts use it. Keep text and faces away from the edges of stories and Reels, where the app places buttons and captions.
Crop or fit?
- Crop to fill covers the whole frame and cuts the edges that do not fit.
- Fit with background keeps the whole image and fills the empty space with the color you choose.
