Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best image size for an Instagram post?

The ideal Instagram post size is 1080×1080 px for square, 1080×1350 px for portrait (4:5), and 1080×566 px for landscape. Portrait posts get the most feed real estate and tend to perform best.

What size should an Instagram Story be?

Instagram Stories should be 1080×1920 px (9:16 aspect ratio). This fills the full screen on all modern smartphones. The same dimensions apply to Reels thumbnails.

How do I resize an image for Instagram without losing quality?

Use Resizo — it applies bicubic interpolation inside your browser so there's no server compression. Set output quality to 85–90 for JPG. Instagram will re-compress the image when uploaded, so starting with a high-quality source is important.

Does Resizo upload my photos to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device — no server, no cloud, no privacy risk.
