Feed posts love squares

Platform Guidelines
How Instagram handles your collage
Avoid unwanted cropping or quality loss with Instagram's official dimension standards.
Carousels multiply reach
Export a 3×3 moodboard as slide one and individual photos as following slides — one upload, two consumption modes.
Reels covers want vertical
Switch canvas to 9:16 for cover frames; 13% margins top/bottom get cropped by UI overlays, so keep text central.
Compression is inevitable
Instagram recompresses everything. PNG exports with strong contrast and clean edges survive it visibly better.

FAQ
Instagram Collage Questions
What size should an Instagram collage be?
1080×1080 square is the feed standard. Use 1080×1350 for taller portrait posts or 1080×1920 for Stories and Reels covers — all available in the canvas presets.
PNG or JPEG for Instagram uploads?
PNG. Instagram recompresses uploads heavily; starting from a clean, artefact-free PNG yields visibly sharper results, especially with text or fine detail.
Will Instagram crop my square collage in the profile grid?
The grid preview shows a centre-cropped thumbnail, but followers see the full square in feed view. Keep critical elements central so both views work.
Can I make carousel-ready collages?
Yes — compose one overview collage and export individual photos separately from the same loaded set for a rich multi-slide carousel.
Is the Instagram collage maker free?
Free forever — no watermark, no login, unlimited HD exports.
