Tips for Best Instagram Quality

  • Always upload at 1080px wide minimum — Instagram won't upscale
  • Use JPG format at 80%+ quality for photos
  • For profile picture, upload at least 320×320px (displayed as a circle)
  • Story and Reels work best at 1080×1920 (9:16 ratio)
  • The square format (1:1) is safest for regular posts — works on all devices
