Frequently asked
▸What dimensions does Instagram actually use?
Instagram displays square feed posts at 1080×1080 pixels. If you upload something larger, IG silently downsizes it; smaller and it gets stretched and pixelated. 1080×1080 is the sweet spot.
▸Can I get other Instagram sizes (story, reel)?
Yes — for stories (1080×1920) use our free Image Resizer with the Instagram Story preset. For reels and other formats too. Or sign up and use a Beauty / Real-estate / Contractor Pack which includes every IG size in one go.
▸Will faces or important parts get cropped out?
We center-crop, which works for most photos because subjects tend to be centered. If your subject is off-center, use the full Image Resizer with "Fit inside" mode to preserve the entire image (with letterboxing).
▸Does Instagram strip my image quality?
IG re-compresses uploads. Starting from a clean, properly-sized 1080×1080 JPG (like this tool produces) gives you the best result IG will allow.
▸Is there a daily limit?
30 free conversions per IP per hour — plenty for typical use. If you want unlimited or batch processing, sign up for a Con-vrt account.
