Instagram uses different shapes for different placements, and matching them keeps your photo sharp instead of being cropped or squeezed by the app. This crops to the classic feed square — 1:1 — which is the safest, most consistent choice for a regular post.
Which shape for which placement
- Feed post — 1:1 square (this tool). The reliable, classic look.
- Story or Reel — 9:16, tall and full-screen. Use a 9:16 crop or the story resizer.
- Portrait feed — 4:5, slightly taller than square, for a bit more presence in the feed.
Frame it the way you want
A square crop trims the sides of a wide photo or the top and bottom of a tall one. Drag or pinch to position the frame so the part that matters — a face, a product — stays centred and nothing important is cut off.

Frequently asked questions
- What size should an Instagram post be?
- The feed square is 1:1. Crop to that shape here, and if you want an exact pixel size, 1080×1080 is the standard.
- What about stories?
- Stories and Reels are 9:16 (tall). This tool crops the 1:1 feed square; for stories, use a 9:16 crop or the dedicated story resizer.
- Will my photo get cropped?
- A square frame trims a non-square photo. Reposition the frame on the image so the important part stays inside it.
