okay let's get started why do your photos turn out blurry or lose quality when uploading
to instagram it's a frustrating issue but we've got a few solutions that you can try
to upload crisp high-quality images to Instagram we first have to understand why images become
blurry in the first place the first cause is an oversized photo file when it comes to Instagram
file size is really important the actual upload process will be the same no matter how big your
image file is but Instagram automatically compresses images that are larger than one
megabyte which can result in hazy or blurry images for this reason it's always best to upload photos
that are less than one megabyte the second cause is using the wrong aspect ratio when you upload
an image to instagram with the incorrect aspect ratio instagram will automatically compress and
crop the image which again can result in blurry photos for this reason it's always best to use
the correct aspect ratio which is 4x5 or 4x4 number three is uploading an improper file format
Instagram accepts jpegs by default but if you upload a different image file it will convert your
image to jpeg before uploading and this process can reduce your image quality next you might be
uploading from the wrong device although Instagram is primarily a mobile-based application it can be
used on other devices such as desktops laptops and tablets but because Instagram is primarily
mobile based uploading from those other devices can damage your image quality because of this
it's always best to post your photos directly from the Instagram app on your phone so with all those
points in mind what Instagram settings and camera settings can we change to prevent blurry photos
one way to fix blurry photos in instagram is by tweaking the settings and turning off the data
saving feature to do this open the Instagram app and tap on the profile icon in the bottom right
corner on your profile page touch on the three horizontal lines in the top right hand corner
and choose settings there will be a few different options here
you'll want to choose account and then either cellular data settings on android
or data usage on iphone for android make sure that data saver is turned off and for iphone
make sure that use less mobile data is turned off and high-quality uploads is turned on
hopefully that solves the problem but if not it's time to take a look at the device settings
another way to avoid blurry or poor quality photos on instagram
is by improving the camera quality of your device firstly open the camera settings on
your phone and make sure hdr is turned on on android devices this is called ultrashot hdr
if your device allows you to select picture size choose the largest size available for the best
quality because Instagram compresses all images above one megabyte a great way to ensure good
quality uploads is by using the camera feature built into the instagram app just swipe left
from the home screen on Instagram and you'll find several options like story reel and post select
the post option click on the camera icon and you'll be able to take a photo to post to your
profile that's the third way to avoid blurry photos on Instagram but there might be times

to be aware of what causes photos to become blurry in the first place so that that can be avoided
to avoid any issues when uploading high quality photos to Instagram it's important to double
check all the details before uploading things like photo size file format aspect ratio and all those
little things that most people overlook can mean the difference between a clear or blurry photo
the first tip to ensure good image quality is to check the aspect ratio and image size
one-to-one images should be at least 1080 by 1080 pixels portrait images which are another popular
choice should be at least 1080 by 1350 pixels and landscape photos which are 1.91 by 1 should
be at least 1080 by 608 jpeg is the best file format for instagram because it allows for high
quality images with a small file size png is also a good option and is the second best after jpeg
so make sure you're using one of those two file formats thirdly when we share photos
through messaging services such as whatsapp the photo quality is sometimes lost as a result
try to avoid uploading photos to Instagram that you've saved from a messaging service
