How to Resize for Instagram in 3 Steps

  1. Open the Image Resizer
  2. Click the "Instagram (1080×1080)" preset under the upload area
  3. Click Resize, then download

Pro tip: Always export at 1080px on the longest side. Uploading larger won't improve quality — Instagram compresses everything to 1080px anyway.
