Social media

What size is an Instagram post?

Short answer

Make Instagram feed posts 1080 × 1350 pixels, a 4:5 portrait. It is the tallest shape the feed shows in full, so it takes up more of the screen than a square. Keep logos and text 13% from the sides and 12% from the top and bottom so the profile grid doesn't crop them.

The short answer, then what it means for your logo and text.

Square or portrait?

Square posts (1:1) still work, but a 4:5 portrait is 25% taller at the same width, so it gets more of the screen as people scroll.
