Frequently Asked Questions

What is the max image size for Instagram?
Instagram allows uploads up to 10MB. However, images are compressed server-side. Pre-compressing at 75% quality gives you control over the final look.
What format is best for Instagram?
JPEG is universally supported. WebP offers better compression but check Instagram's format support. For graphics with text, PNG may look sharper despite larger size.
Will Instagram compress my image again?
Most platforms re-compress uploaded images. By pre-compressing at optimal settings, you minimize double-compression artifacts and maintain better visual quality.
