How this tool works

Editable preset

The width and height start at 1080 × 1080 and can be changed to any size. Instagram Photo Resizer always reports the final dimensions in the result panel.

Fit and crop focus

Cover fills the frame and may crop (the crop focus chooses which part is kept); Contain shows the whole image with padding; Stretch ignores the aspect ratio.

Format, quality, size

Pick JPG, PNG, WebP, or same-as-input, set the quality, and optionally a target file size. JPG fills transparency with the background color.

Verify before you post

Instagram Photo Resizer is an independent browser tool and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta. Confirm the current Instagram requirements, since sizes vary by placement and device. Re-encoding removes metadata.

Instagram Photo Resizer in your browser

Instagram Photo Resizer resizes a photo to a common Instagram photo size (1080 × 1080), a size commonly used on Instagram. The dimensions are pre-filled and fully editable, so you can keep the common size or type your own, and the result panel always shows the final pixel dimensions.

Choose how the image fills the frame: Cover fills it and may crop the edges (use the crop-focus control to keep the important part, such as a face), Contain shows the whole image with padding, and Stretch ignores the aspect ratio. Output can be JPG (a common social default), PNG or WebP (which keep transparency when the background is set to Transparent), or the same format as the input (JPG, PNG, or WebP), and JPG fills transparent areas with your background color. Instagram supports several ratios: 1080×1080 square, 1080×1350 portrait, and 1080×566 landscape — edit the width and height to switch between them.

This is an independent browser tool and is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta — Instagram sizes change and can vary by placement and device, so verify the current requirements before uploading. Re-encoding strips EXIF and other metadata, and animated GIFs are exported as a single still frame.
