Why

Oversized images.
Blurred uploads.

Instagram re-encodes anything above 1080px, so a 4000px photo uploads soft. Upload at 1080px for the sharpest feed.

FAQ

Instagram — FAQ

What size should I upload to Instagram?

1080px on the long edge. Anything bigger gets re-encoded (and softened); Compressy resizes to 1080px before upload.

Will this make my feed sharper?

Yes. Uploading at 1080px instead of 4000px avoids Instagram's downscale blur — your feed stays crisp on phones and tablets.

Can I batch a whole shoot?

Yes. Drop the folder — posts, stories and carousel images all compress together, backups to /backup.

Do I need to upload?

No. All compression is local. No upload, no account.

Crisper Instagram. Your PC does the resize.

For Instagram — sharp feed without the cloud.
