Overview

• Instagram previously capped tall images at a 4:5 ratio, forcing users to crop 3:4 photos or add borders.
• Adam Mosseri announced that 3:4 uploads will appear exactly as shot, eliminating unintended trimming of image edges.
• This change follows Instagram’s January shift to rectangular profile grid previews as the platform moves away from its square roots.
• Users retain the ability to post in 1:1 square and 4:5 formats alongside the new 3:4 option for greater flexibility.
• The feature is arriving gradually, so some users may need to update their app or wait for the rollout to reach their accounts.
