Instagram Post Square size — 1080×1080 (1:1)

Size answer and destination decision

Use 1080×1080 pixels at 1:1 for a square feed post.

1080 ÷ 1080 = 1 (1:1)

Choose square for 1:1 grid consistency when a reusable tile, centered product, or symmetrical portrait matters more than portrait reach. A stable square system also lets adjacent posts align without alternating canvas heights.

Use this preset when

  • The composition has a central anchor and equal visual weight on every edge
  • A campaign needs predictable thumbnails across a profile grid and asset library

Reconsider the crop or format when

  • A full-length person needs 4:5 space to avoid cutting limbs or clothing
  • Wide environmental context carries essential information beyond the central subject

After export: manual destination check

After export, manually check grid consistency and portrait trade-offs in the Instagram profile and feed.
