Resize photos for Instagram
Instagram crops photos that do not fit its shapes. Pick the format you are posting, frame the photo and download it at exactly the size Instagram displays, so nothing important gets cut off. Your photo stays on your device.

Instagram image resizer: questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The file is read by your browser and processed on your device; nothing is uploaded to a server, so there is nothing for us to keep.
What is the best size for an Instagram post?
1080 by 1350 pixels (4:5) takes up the most space in the feed. Instagram also accepts 1080 by 1080 squares and landscape photos down to 1.91:1, and profile grids now show posts as 3:4 thumbnails.
What size are Stories and Reels?
1080 by 1920 pixels, a 9:16 vertical frame. Keep text away from the top and bottom edges, where the app's buttons sit.
How do I post a whole photo without cropping?
Use the Instagram no-crop tool: it fits the whole photo into the frame on a blurred or coloured background.
