Prepare a square feed photo
Use 1080 × 1080 for a square Instagram feed image. Portrait posts and Stories use different proportions and remain available as presets in the main resizer.
The square crop changes framing, not the subject’s proportions. Padding preserves a non-square original.
Before you use the download
- For a carousel, prepare the images with a consistent shape and check the crop in Instagram before sharing.
- Crop to fill removes the outer edges of a landscape or portrait source. Fit (pad) keeps the complete image with margins.
- PNG is useful for text or graphics; JPG suits photographs. Instagram can still recompress the uploaded file.
