The best size for your Instagram display picture (DP) depends on where it will be viewed.
According to current recommendations, Instagram profile pictures should be at least 180 x 180 pixels for optimal viewing on web browsers. While Instagram itself displays profile pictures at 110 x 110 pixels on mobile, uploading a larger image ensures it looks crisp and clear across different devices and platforms.
Here’s a summary of recommended sizes:
Platform | Recommended Size |
---|---|
Mobile App | 110 x 110 pixels |
Web Browser | 180 x 180 pixels |
General Upload | 180 x 180 pixels or larger (square) |
By using a resolution of 180 x 180 pixels or greater, you can ensure your profile picture looks its best, no matter where it's being viewed.
