Hereās the latest recommended Instagram sizes:
š Portrait Posts (Recommended): 1080 Ć 1440 (3:4)
š Square Posts: 1080 Ć 1080
š Landscape Posts: 1080 Ć 566
š Reels & Stories: 1080 Ć 1920
š Profile Picture: 400 Ć 400
š” Pro Tip: Instagram is continuing to favour portrait (3:4) content, as it takes up more screen space in the feed and generally grabs more attention than square posts.
If youāre creating content in Canva, Iād recommend updating your templates to 1080 Ć 1440 px for most static posts going forward.
š Questions for youā¦Have you already switched your content to 3:4, or are you still posting mostly in 1:1?
