Instagram Help Center

Once you've selected a photo or video from your phone or tablet's photo library, you can choose to share it as a portrait or landscape instead of a square:

1. Tap to switch the photo from a square to a portrait or landscape.
2. You can touch the screen to move the photo and adjust how it fits within the frame. Use the grid to help you frame the photo.
3. Tap Next to apply effects or a filter.

Once you share it, the photo or video will appear as a portrait or landscape in Feed. You can share photos and videos with aspect ratios between 1.91:1 and 4:5.

Note: In grid view on your profile, photos shared as a portrait or landscape will appear as a center-cropped square.
