Instagram No Crop: Post the Whole Photo
Instagram crops photos that are taller than 3:4 or wider than 1.91:1, such as most phone screenshots and panoramas. This page fits the whole photo into a 3:4 frame on a blurred background; choose 4:5, square or story in the Shape list.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Instagram crop my photo?
Instagram's help page allows shapes from 1.91:1 (wide) to 3:4 (tall). Photos outside that range, such as tall screenshots or wide panoramas, are cropped to fit.
Which shape should I choose?
3:4 for the feed and the profile grid, 4:5 if you prefer the classic portrait size, square for a uniform look, and 9:16 for stories and reels.
Can I make a carousel without cropping?
Yes. Run each photo through with the same shape, then add them to one post. Instagram uses the first photo's shape for every photo in a carousel.
Is my photo uploaded to OptiPress?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
