Also, they are displayed as a circle. So make sure any elements you want to focus on in the photo are centered so they don’t get cropped out.

• If you want your images to look their best on Instagram, aim to upload an image that is 1080 pixels wide.
• Larger images will be sized down to 1080 pixels, and images less than 320 pixels will be sized up to 320 pixels wide.
• If your image is between 320 and 1080 pixels wide, Instagram will keep that photo at its original resolution
• If the aspect ratio of your photo isn’t supported, it will be cropped to fit a supported ratio.
