Instagram Tools: Resize, Compress, and Prep Photos for Posts and Stories
Instagram crushes your image quality on upload. The fix: hit Instagram's preferred dimensions and quality, and the algorithm leaves your photo nearly untouched.
Pro creators get sharper Instagram uploads by feeding the algorithm exactly what it wants: 1080px wide, JPG at 70-85% quality, the right aspect ratio for the format (1:1 feed, 4:5 portrait, 9:16 Story/Reel). The tools and use-cases below get you there in seconds.

Why this collection
Every social media management suite charges $15+/month for the same resize, compress, and basic edit features. For Instagram specifically you don't need a suite — you need precise pixel control. These browser tools deliver that for free, with no upload of your draft posts to a third party.
Step-by-step guides
