Tips for Great Instagram Images

1

Use the 1080 x 1080 square format for feed posts — it takes up the most screen space in the feed.

2

Stick to 2-3 colors per post for a clean, cohesive look that aligns with your brand.

3

Use high-contrast text with a shadow or outline for readability over busy backgrounds.

4

Add your handle or logo subtly to prevent unauthorized reposting of your content.

5

Test your design on mobile before posting — most Instagram users browse on their phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Select the Instagram Story canvas size (1080 x 1920) in the editor to create vertical content perfect for Stories.

What format should I export for Instagram?

Instagram works best with JPG or PNG files under 30MB. We recommend JPG at 90% quality for photos and PNG for graphics with text.
