1080 × 1350

The tallest the feed allows

A 4:5 portrait at 1080 × 1350 is the tallest a normal feed post can be. That is the reason to use it: on a phone it occupies noticeably more of the screen than a square, and screen space is attention. Anything taller gets cropped back to 4:5 on upload, so 1350 is not a preference, it is a ceiling.

The trade-off is the profile grid, which shows every post as a square and takes that square from the centre. A composition that runs from the very top to the very bottom of the portrait will lose both ends there. The way round it is to frame twice in one crop: fill the 4:5 for the feed, but keep the subject inside the middle square so the grid thumbnail still makes sense on its own.

How to make a 4:5 Instagram post

01

Drop your image in

PNG, JPG or WebP. It is decoded in the page — nothing is uploaded, so nothing waits on a connection.

02

Move the box

The crop box is already locked to the 4:5 shape. Drag it over the part that matters and resize it from any corner; the pixel size is shown as you go.

03

Download

The export is exactly 1080 × 1350. JPEG for photographs; PNG when the image is flat colour or carries text.

quick answers

Instagram portrait size FAQ

What is the tallest image Instagram allows in the feed?

4:5 — 1080 × 1350 pixels. Anything taller is cropped back to that shape when you post it, so it is better to choose the crop yourself.

Why does the grid thumbnail look wrong?

Because the grid crops every post to a centre square. A 4:5 image loses its top and bottom strips there. Keep the subject inside the middle square and both views work.

Is portrait better than square?

It takes more vertical space in the feed, which usually helps. Square is the safer pick when the grid matters as much as the feed, since a square post looks identical in both.
