Portrait for the feed
Most people scroll Facebook on a phone held upright. A 4:5 portrait post is taller than a square or a landscape picture of the same width, so it takes up more of the screen as people scroll past.
Why keep the Instagram safe area on Facebook
When the same post also goes to Instagram, the profile grid there shows only its middle. Keeping logos and text inside the safe area means one design works everywhere it is posted.
What is the best size for a Facebook post?
1080 × 1350 pixels, a 4:5 portrait. It fills more of a phone screen than a square or landscape picture.
Can I use the same image on Facebook and Instagram?
Yes. Cutlin's Portrait 4:5 size makes one 1080 × 1350 post for both feeds; keep important content inside the safe area so Instagram's profile grid doesn't crop it.
