Instagram has introduced support for photos with a 3:4 aspect ratio, affirming that images will now appear as taken without cropping. This update aligns with a trend toward vertical formats, which Instagram head Adam Mosseri indicates is standard on most phone cameras. The update allows users to upload 3:4 images in single photo formats and carousels, while still permitting previous aspect ratios like square or 4:5. This change follows Instagram's earlier decision to convert profile grids from squares to rectangles, adapting to user behaviors.
Instagram now supports photos that have a 3:4 aspect ratio, meaning that when you upload a photo with that ratio, "it'll now appear just exactly as you shot it," Instagram head Adam Mosseri says in a Threads post.
He also notes that "almost every phone camera defaults to" that format, aligning the platform with user expectations.
3:4 photos are supported with single-photo uploads and with carousels, according to the channel, providing users more flexibility in how they showcase their photos.
If you want, you can still post photos with a square or 4:5 aspect ratio, allowing for continued versatility in post characteristics.
