Start from the final frame
A square resize keeps the full image only when the source is already square. Use crop first if the subject needs tighter framing.
Instagram image size
Instagram post size: 1080x1080 pixels
Use a square 1080x1080 canvas when you want a clean Instagram feed post that keeps detail after platform compression. ImageME opens the resize tool with those exact pixels filled in.

Make the post fit the feed
Keep text away from edges
Leave breathing room around captions, product labels and UI screenshots so they survive previews, thumbnails and reposts.
Resize before compression
Downsize to 1080x1080 first, then compress if the exported file still needs to be lighter for a campaign or CMS.
FAQ
Instagram post size FAQ
Is 1080x1080 the only Instagram post size?
No. It is the standard square recommendation. Instagram feed images can use other aspect ratios, but a square post is predictable across grids and previews.
Will ImageME upload my Instagram image?
No. The resize runs locally in your browser; selected files are not uploaded to ImageME.
