How do I post a photo on Instagram without it being cropped?
Instagram feed posts must be between 4:5 (portrait) and 1.91:1 (landscape), so wider or taller photos get cropped. This tool places your whole photo inside a 1080 × 1350 frame and fills the space around it with white or any colour you choose, so nothing is lost.
Want it square instead? Choose Instagram post 1080×1080 in the options. For Stories and Reels, choose Story / Reel 1080×1920. Everything happens in your browser, so your files are never uploaded.
| Use | Size | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait post (most space in the feed) | 1080 × 1350 | 4:5 |
| Square post | 1080 × 1080 | 1:1 |
| Landscape post | 1080 × 566 | 1.91:1 |
| Story or Reel | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |

Questions
What's the best size for Instagram posts?
1080 × 1350 (4:5 portrait) takes up the most space in the feed.
Can I use a blurred background instead of a colour?
Not yet. The border is a solid colour of your choice.
Will Instagram reduce the quality?
Instagram re-compresses every upload. Starting at exactly 1080 pixels wide avoids an extra resize.
How do I resize a photo for Instagram without cropping?
Add the photo here. The whole picture is placed inside a 1080 × 1350 frame with a border in the colour you pick, so Instagram doesn't need to cut anything off.
How do I make a picture fit Instagram?
Instagram posts must be between 4:5 portrait and 1.91:1 landscape. Pictures outside that shape are cropped, so fit them into 4:5 or 1:1 with a border first.
What size is an Instagram Reel cover?
1080 × 1920 (9:16). In the feed, Instagram shows the middle 1080 × 1350 part, so keep text in the centre.
