– Photos need to be a high resolution photo, up to a width of 1080 pixels.
– If the photo has a width between 320 and 1080 pixels, the original resolution is kept so long as the photo’s aspect ratio is between 1.91:1 and 4:5 (a height between 566 and 1350 pixels with a width of 1080 pixels).
– If the aspect ratio of your photo isn’t supported, it will be cropped to fit a supported ratio, so make sure there are no key words or details that stand to be cut in the process.
– If a photo is of a lower resolution, it will be enlarged to a width of 320 pixels.
– Photos higher than 1080 pixels will be sized down.
– GIFS must be converted to video format to be displayed.

To ensure the photo is shared with a width of 1080 pixels, please, prior to submitting the photo:
– Download the most recent version of the Instagram app and upload a photo with a width of at least 1080 pixels with an aspect ratio between 1.91:1 and 4:5 to see how it will appear in the post.
