Resize images for Instagram

Instagram displays images 1080 pixels wide. Resizing to exactly that before uploading keeps photos sharp and avoids Instagram's own heavy compression.

    Instagram image sizes

    Instagram changes its layouts from time to time, but 1080 px wide has been the standard upload width for years. Larger photos are downscaled by Instagram anyway, often with visible quality loss.

    Resizing keeps proportions

    Pixverter scales images to fit inside the width and height you set without stretching or cropping. To change the aspect ratio (for example to 4:5), crop in your phone's photo editor first, then resize here.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will resizing make my photo blurry?

    No. Downscaling a large phone photo to 1080 px keeps it crisp. Pixverter never enlarges images that are already smaller than the limit.

    Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

    No. Pixverter processes every image inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe for personal photos and documents.

    Should I use JPG or PNG for Instagram?

    JPG at 85–95% quality. Instagram converts everything to JPG anyway.
