Instagram Image Size Requirements

Instagram displays images differently depending on where they appear. Using the wrong dimensions leads to automatic cropping by Instagram — often cutting off important parts of your photo.

Correct Sizes for Each Format

• Square post: 1080 × 1080 px (1:1 ratio)
• Portrait post: 1080 × 1350 px (4:5 ratio) — best for mobile feed
• Landscape post: 1080 × 566 px (1.91:1 ratio)
• Story / Reel: 1080 × 1920 px (9:16 ratio)
• Profile photo: 320 × 320 px (1:1, displayed as circle)

How to Crop to Instagram Sizes

1. Open Doit Connect Image Crop.
2. Upload your photo.
3. Select the 4:5 preset for portrait posts (recommended for maximum feed height).
4. Position the crop area around your subject.
5. Download and upload to Instagram.

Pro Tip: Always Shoot Slightly Wider

When taking photos, leave extra space around your subject. This gives you more flexibility when cropping later without losing important details. Portrait (4:5) crops show the most of your image on mobile feeds and are recommended for most content creators.
