Why Use PDFBro to Resize Images
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best image size for Instagram posts?
1080x1080 pixels is the optimal square resolution for Instagram feed posts. Instagram also supports 1080x1350 (portrait) and 1080x566 (landscape). Square 1:1 images display best across all devices and fill the most screen space in the feed. PDFBro resizes to exactly 1080x1080 so Instagram applies zero compression.
Will Instagram compress my image after uploading?
Instagram compresses all uploads, but starting with the optimal 1080x1080 resolution minimizes quality loss. Uploads larger than 1080 pixels are downscaled (losing detail), while smaller images are upscaled (looking blurry). Resizing to exactly 1080x1080 before uploading gives you the crispest possible result on Instagram.
What file format should I use for Instagram posts?
JPEG is the safest choice for Instagram — universally supported, small file size, and good quality at 1080x1080. PNG is also accepted and preserves transparency if your image has it. PDFBro resizes both formats and saves in the original format you choose.
Can I resize multiple images for an Instagram carousel?
Yes. Process each image individually with PDFBro's resize tool set to 1080x1080. Each will be perfectly square for your carousel. There are no daily limits — resize as many images as your carousel needs.
