To break it down further, with the new full-screen experience Mosseri alluded to, the ideal size for Instagram graphics would be a 9:16 ratio. Grid with rectangular graphics Getting technical When we saw that this client’s grid had shifted, our square graphics were no longer fitting perfectly in the grid (see examples below). That way, they perfectly display on a page’s Instagram grid without having any of the information contained in the graphic cut off.

Lately, however, the platform has given some indications that it may be altering its preferred standard size for images.

Cultivating perfectly-thought-out Instagram grids has been a goal for influencers, businesses and general Instagram user alike. ![]() Since it first hit our smartphones in 2010, Instagram has been known for its imagery. ![]()
