Instagram profile photo size

You must comply with the Instagram image requirements so that your profile photo is not distorted or the size spoils your account’s look.

What is the ideal size?

The official Instagram profile size is 110 x 110 pixels. However, the recommended size is 180 x 180 pixels.

In addition, remember that Instagram compresses the content, so we recommend that you upload it to the highest quality and resolution possible.

What are you waiting for? Give your Instagram profile a new touch by changing the profile picture. Remember to share this change with your followers!
