Guidance

Instagram sizing notes

Use this hub when you are preparing recurring creator assets for Instagram. Start with the child page that matches the placement, then copy the pixel target or open it in the image resizer preset.

PixelMeasures labels each platform size as official when a public platform source gives the placement requirements. If the platform does not publish an exact public spec, the page is marked as a practical production target.

Workflow

How to choose the right Instagram size

StepWhat to check
Placement Choose the exact post, profile, cover, story, video, product, or banner page before resizing.
Aspect ratio Confirm whether the placement is square, vertical, wide, or responsive before adding text.
Safe area Keep faces, logos, product details, and captions away from crop-risk edges and platform UI overlays.
Export Use sRGB, supported file formats, and a source image large enough for the recommended pixels.

Review

Instagram source confidence

The pages in this cluster use official platform documentation first. When the platform does not publish a precise public upload size for a common creator asset, PixelMeasures uses a stable practical production target and labels it clearly.
