How to resize a photo for Instagram
Add your picture
Choose a file, drop it on the preview or paste it.
Pick the size and the fit
Crop to fill and slide to keep the right part in frame, or fit the whole picture on a colour.
Download the JPG
Then post it from your phone or computer.
Instagram and LinkedIn picture sizes
Instagram takes photos anywhere from a wide landscape to a tall portrait. Post one outside that range and Instagram crops it for you, so size it here and you choose what stays in.
A taller picture fills more of the screen as people scroll, which is why portrait suits a face or a list. Stories and Reels are tall, 9:16.
LinkedIn only gives a size for the picture on a link post, so that's the LinkedIn option here.

Worked examples
A phone photo to 4:5
A 4000 x 3000 photo cropped to 1080 x 1350 keeps the middle 2400 x 3000. Slide left to keep the left edge instead.
The whole photo, no crop
The same photo fitted is 1080 x 810, with 270 pixels of your colour above and below.
A small picture
A 600 x 600 logo made into a 1080 square gets stretched, so the resizer warns you it will look soft.
Common questions
Start my weekWhat size should an Instagram post be?
1080 pixels wide, from wide 1.91:1 to tall 3:4. 1080 x 1350 is the usual portrait size.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. It opens in your browser and the resizing happens there. Close the tab and it's gone.
Will it lose quality?
It saves a high-quality JPG at the exact size. Pictures smaller than the size you pick get stretched, and the resizer warns you when that happens.
Can I keep the whole picture without cropping?
Yes. Choose Fit whole picture and pick a background colour for the space around it.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Choose a photo from your camera roll, then download the JPG to your phone.
