How to Resize Images for Instagram Posts and Stories
Resize for PlatformThe Problem
Instagram requires specific image dimensions — 1080×1080 for feed posts, 1080×1920 for stories, and 1080×1350 for portrait posts. Uploading the wrong size means your content gets cropped awkwardly, cutting off important elements, or appears lower quality than it should. You need quick, precise resizing without opening Photoshop.

Upload your image (JPG, PNG, or WebP)

Preview the resized result
Download your perfectly sized image
Upload directly to Instagram

LinkedIn Post, Facebook Post, YouTube Thumbnail, Pinterest Pin, and Instagram Story presets are all available.
Will it reduce my image quality?
No — smart resizing maintains sharpness and quality. If your original is high resolution, the output will look crisp.

Yes — resize the same image for different formats. Each takes just a few seconds.

Manually resizing the same product photo 5+ times in Photoshop for each platform is repetitive, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong.
