What are the recommended aspect ratios for Instagram posts and stories?

Use 1:1 Square (1080x1080 px) or 4:5 Portrait (1080x1350 px) for Instagram main feed posts, and 9:16 Vertical (1080x1920 px) for Instagram Stories and Reels.

Does cropping reduce photo pixel sharpness?

No! PicBanao extracts cropped pixel matrices directly from your full-resolution source image without lossy downscaling artifacts.
