This is all great info...my biggest issue is posting reels then they don't crop nice on my feed... my head is always chopped off even when I tried to center it nicely....how can fix this problem pls.

Instagram is a peace of sh*t! It used to crop everything, now it got even worse, as it cropes and you cannot even move the picture to get the best view (since 29/09/2022). Also, where do you find 4:5? My phone just have 3:4! Thank you for the video!

Will we be getting ability to post 2x3 portrait post? Can we edit add images to existing post? Or migrate old photo post into new without loosing likes and comments?

This was really helpful, thank you so much! I will use this information for making my insta videos and content from now on.

This was interesting, but I still need some advice. When I try to post still images to Instagram, it is constantly telling me to crop. I tend to use my Sony Xperia 1 11, the still image ratios are 4:3(12mp), 16:9(9mp) and 1:1(9mp), sorry I'm not the most tech savvy. Which one should I use? I have it at the on the 4:3 at present. Thank you in advance.

Great video, are there any recommendations given from these social media? Where I can find the information?

[nyclassicever]

Just wish IG had a preview before you post so that we can see how it will display before going live with the post...🤦🏻‍♂️

I tried a lot of sizes for Instagram video image cover but every time the image doesn't show correctly and I am not talking about reels I'm talking about an actual video on Instagram

Thanks for the info. I don't know if you got a big head or narrow shoulders 🤔🧐

strangely, for horizontal photos, when the width is higher than 1080, it turns out blurrier than when the width is 1080.

what do u put for max height for vertical photos? also, have u compared 72 dpi vs. 300 dpi?

[hameratahir]

why do my videos keep coming out the wrong size?

[cecilhudgins]

Good info, too much movement for me, too busy.

[sybilprempeh]

Thanks for the info. What about Guide covers? Can a 1:1 feed post be used as a cover photo when creating a guide without a part of the photo being cropped out?

[joseore]

not true, I used 9:16 aspect ratio for reels and still got cropped

[RedRumble]

Bro why insta eats quality of my photos if I put them in carousel? Same photos if uploaded solo look solid but in carousel it’s trash and blurry!

[emekaudeogu]

Thanks for the tips.

Is there a way to check the aspect ratio of picture or video?

And are there tools I can use to crop a photo or media to the right size before postings?

This was a helpful video, I've had trouble understanding the differences with image post sizes
