Meet the 2026 Instagram Sizes Guide. A refreshed guide with all sizing updates from last year up to now, including the long-awaited 3:4 posts that were finally released recently. Always handy to keep around so you don't have to search for the right sizes every time... am I right? This Sizes Guide helps you prepare, export, and post your content the right way, so it's seen in the quality it deserves. If you’re creating content in 2026, this is one guide you’ll want to save. Using the correct dimensions can make a huge difference to: ✅ Image quality ✅ Profile grid appearance ✅ Reach & engagement ✅ Reel performance ✅ Ad creatives Here’s the latest recommended Instagram sizes: 📌 Portrait Posts (Recommended): 1080 × 1440 (3:4) 📌 Square Posts: 1080 × 1080 📌 Landscape Posts: 1080 × 566 📌 Reels & Stories: 1080 × 1920 📌 Profile Picture: 400 × 400 💡 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 you’re creating content in Canva, I’d recommend updating your templates to 1080 × 1440 px for most static posts going forward. 👇 Questions for you…Have you already switched your content to 3:4, or are you still posting mostly in 1:1?

If you’re active in multiple Skool communities like me, your notifications can get VERY overwhelming fast. 😅 One of the best productivity hacks I’ve found is clearing notifications you don’t actually need instead of letting them pile up endlessly. 👀 💡 Here’s the trick: On the right-hand side of your notifications, you’ll see a small blue dot 🔵 That blue dot means the notification is still unread. ✔️ Simply tap the blue dot ✔️ It instantly marks the notification as read ✔️ This helps clear out notifications you no longer need to check ✔️ Keeps your notification tab organised and easier to manage This is SUCH a game changer when: ✨ You’re in multiple Skool communities ✨ Following lots of creators ✨ Getting constant post notifications ✨ Networking daily ✨ Trying to stay productive online Instead of endlessly scrolling through old notifications trying to find important replies, you can quickly clean up your feed and focus on the notifications that actually matter. 🔥 Small workflow habits like this can save you SO much time over the course of a week. 👏 Did you already know about this little Skool hack or is this new to you?
