Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Instagram blur my photos after uploading?

If your image width exceeds 1080px or is not formatted in sRGB color space, Instagram's compression algorithms compress it heavily.

Why is 4:5 portrait better than 1:1 square?

4:5 portrait posts occupy 25% more vertical screen space on mobile phones than 1:1 squares, keeping users focused on your post longer.
