💡 Tips for for Instagram
- ✓ Upload at exactly 1080 px wide. Smaller images get upscaled and appear soft.
- ✓ For photos, use JPG at 85–95% quality. Instagram re-compresses every upload — starting higher gives a sharper result.
- ✓ For graphics, logos, or images with text, use PNG. It holds sharp edges better after Instagram's compression.
- ✓ The 4:5 portrait format takes up more screen space in the feed and typically gets higher engagement than square.
- ✓ Keep important content away from the top and bottom 250 px on Stories — UI elements cover those areas.
- ✓ Avoid uploading files over 10 MB. Instagram compresses them more aggressively and visible artifacts appear.
