Keeping quality on Instagram after compression

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Start at 1080px wide (Instagram's display limit) — any larger and Instagram downscales plus recompresses, giving you double quality loss.

JPEG at 85% quality is usually the sweet spot: small enough to upload fast, detailed enough to survive Instagram's second compression pass.

For carousel posts, compress all slides to the same target size so the upload queue does not hang on one oversized image.
