Best Practices for Instagram Images

  • •Always use 1080px width — Instagram compresses smaller images, making them blurry.
  • •Use JPG for photos — Smaller file size, faster upload.
  • •Use PNG for graphics/text — Sharper edges, no compression artifacts.
  • •Keep file size under 8MB — Instagram's upload limit.
  • •Compress after resizing — Reduces file size without visible quality loss.
