How to use Instagram image resizer
- Choose what you are making: a post, a Story or a profile picture.
- Add your photo and position it using the guides.
- Check how the profile grid crops your post.
- Save the resized image.
Why use this tool
Instagram crops and scales images, so a picture that is the wrong shape can lose heads, text or the edges of the frame. Resizing to the right dimensions in advance lets you decide what stays in view instead of leaving it to the app.
Tips for best results
- Portrait 4:5 posts take up the most screen space in the feed.
- Keep text away from the top and bottom of Stories, where the interface sits.
- Remember that the grid thumbnail crops posts, so keep the subject centred.
