Key Takeaways
- Social algorithms heavily compress uploads larger than target dimensions.
- Pre-resize photos to exact platform recommendations (e.g. 1080px wide for Instagram).
When you upload an 8MB photo to Instagram or Facebook, their automatic servers compress it heavily, often introducing blurry artifacts. Pre-optimizing avoids this.
1. Platform Sizing Guidelines
Instagram: 1080x1350px (vertical) or 1080x1080px (square). Pre-compressed JPEGs stay crisp!
