Best Aspect Ratios for Instagram & Social Media (2024 Guide)

Posting the wrong size often leads to blurry or awkwardly cut-off images. To get the best engagement, you must use the correct Image Aspect Ratios. Our tool includes these exact presets:

1. Instagram Portrait (4:5)

The 4:5 crop (1080x1350 px) is the gold standard for Instagram posts. It occupies more vertical screen space on mobile devices compared to a square image, increasing the visibility of your brand.

2. Stories, Reels & TikTok (9:16)

For immersive, full-screen content, use the 9:16 crop. This format is mandatory for Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok videos, and YouTube Shorts. Learn more about these requirements on the official Instagram Help Center.

3. Profile Picture & Grid (1:1)

The classic square format. Use this for profile avatars on LinkedIn, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
