Instagram Image Best Practices
- Choose the right format: Portrait posts (4:5) take up more screen space and often get better engagement than square or landscape.
- Keep stories centered: Important content should be in the center third of stories and reels to avoid being covered by UI elements.
- Maintain consistency: Stick to one or two aspect ratios for your feed to create a cohesive, professional aesthetic.
- Quality matters: Always start with high-resolution images. Instagram compresses uploads, so higher quality originals produce better results.
- Profile picture design: Remember profile pictures display as circles. Keep faces and logos centered, avoiding corners.
- Test across devices: Preview your images on both mobile and desktop to ensure they look good everywhere.
- Use carousel wisely: For carousel posts, maintain consistent dimensions across all images for smooth swiping.
- Story safe zones: Keep text and important elements away from top and bottom edges where they might be obscured.
- Aspect ratio importance: Instagram crops images that don't match supported aspect ratios, potentially cutting off important content.
- File size optimization: While Instagram accepts large files, optimized images upload faster and maintain better quality after compression.

Are these the current Instagram image sizes?
