Why Instagram Compresses Photos
Instagram automatically compresses uploaded photos to optimize loading speeds and reduce bandwidth usage. This compression can reduce image quality, especially for photos that aren't optimized before upload.
To Minimize Quality Loss:
- • Upload images at exactly 1080px width
- • Use JPEG format with 85-95% quality
- • Avoid uploading oversized images
- • Edit photos before uploading to Instagram
Instagram's Process:
- • Resizes images to 1080px width max
- • Applies JPEG compression
- • Converts all formats to JPEG
- • Optimizes for mobile viewing
