About the Instagram profile picture size
Instagram stores your profile picture at about 320 by 320 pixels, but upload a larger square (640 by 640 or 1000 by 1000) so it stays crisp on high-density screens. It is always shown inside a circle, so anything in the corners is cut off. A logo or face works best centred with a little breathing room, because it shrinks to a tiny 32px circle next to your posts in the feed.
Quick tips
- 01Upload a square at least 640 by 640; Instagram downscales cleanly but never upscales.
- 02It is masked to a circle, so keep the subject centred and away from corners.
- 03Test legibility at 32px, the size it appears next to your posts.
