Instagram Landscape Photo Resize
An Instagram landscape post is a feed image uploaded at the 1.91:1 ratio (1080×566px), ideal for scenery and panoramic shots. It is the widest ratio Instagram supports — the full width is displayed in the feed, but it occupies less vertical space than square (1:1) or portrait (4:5) formats. Uploading raw DSLR or mirrorless photos without resizing triggers auto-cropping, so preparing at 1080×566px beforehand is recommended. This tool crops landscape photos to the exact spec and saves them as JPG instantly.

FAQ
What is the widest aspect ratio Instagram supports for landscape posts?
Instagram supports landscape ratios up to 1.91:1. Wider ratios will be auto-cropped.
Why does my landscape photo appear cropped in the feed grid?
The Instagram feed grid uses square previews, so the sides of landscape images may be trimmed. The full image is visible when the post is opened.
What is the maximum file size for a landscape post?
Photos can be up to 30MB. JPG and PNG formats are supported, and a minimum width of 1080px is recommended.
Is landscape or square more effective in the feed?
Landscape works well for scenery but takes up less vertical space, reducing visibility. For higher engagement, portrait (4:5) posts are generally more effective.
What happens if I upload a landscape image wider than 1080px?
Instagram auto-downsizes to 1080px wide. Higher-resolution originals retain better quality after the downscale, so start with a high-res source.
