You can upload a larger image, but it will be scaled down to be very small. Your profile photo on Instagram is very small. They detail this in this help center post. If it’s within the aspect ratio, the extra space above and below or to either side of the image will be replaced with white space, so it matches the background of the Instagram feed and looks seamless. The site in general attempts to keep the entire original image and only crops when it exceeds the aspect ratio. In some cases, Instagram will apply a crop, usually when the height is then too large for the aspect ratio. If an image has a higher than acceptable width, the image will shrink to an acceptable view size. If the height is less than the maximum, you will find blank space on the top and bottom of the image. If that means the height then exceeds what is acceptable, it will crop out that height. If an image has a lower width than the acceptable width, Instagram will “zoom in” on the image to expand it to that minimum. If you’re not sure, aspect ratio is the relationship between height and width, so your width will in part determine the acceptable height of the photo. Basically, there are minimums and maximums to width and aspect ratio. I’ll get into the specific dimensions for each type of post in a moment, but first, let’s talk about how Instagram handles images outside of the appropriate dimensions. Plus, by choosing the exact, specific dimensions, you can make sure it displays with the maximum amount of visible image and as little letterboxing as possible. Instagram will still do some processing of the image, but you’ll lose much less in this process than you will if they’re resizing your image for you. Make any adjustments, edits, or color corrections you want at this point, then re-upload the photo to your mobile device (or use a third-party app) to post it to Instagram from there.
PAINT.NET CROP TO SIZE PC
Then, using a PC with a decent photo editing app (be it Photoshop,, or anything in between), scale down the image with as minimal a loss of quality as possible. My recommendation is to take your photos with a high quality camera, which will likely create very large images that are 3+ times larger than Instagram’s display size.
A few kilobytes might not make a difference to you, but when you multiply that by billions of images every week, it’s a very different problem. They don’t really care about the detail in your images they care about space on their servers. If you think about it from Instagram’s perspective, it makes sense. It’s a generalized algorithm that adjusts the size of an image in a middling level of compression it sacrifices some detail in favor of the appropriate size. The problem is mostly just that the algorithm Instagram uses is not optimized for your images. So why not just let the Instagram algorithm resize your image to fit their display? That’s what it’s there for, after all. Instagram image formats are generally square. Related posts: Why Not Just Let Instagram Decide?
