Does this require an Instagram login?

No, this utility operates 100% in your browser without requiring credentials or third-party logins.

Can I download photos from Instagram posts?

No. Instagram does not allow other websites to read its posts, and you should only download images you have the right to use.

What sizes does Instagram accept?

Feed posts from 1:1 to 4:5 portrait and 1.91:1 landscape, and 9:16 for Stories and Reels. Images are usually shown at 1080 pixels wide.

Is my uploaded image sent anywhere?

No. Uploaded images are read only on your device.

Why won't my image link load?

The link may point to a web page rather than the image file, or the site may block access. Right-click the image and choose Copy image address, then paste that.

Instagram Photo Helper

Check an image's dimensions, aspect ratio, and file size from a direct link or an upload, and see whether it fits Instagram's square, portrait, story, or landscape formats.

Direct image link

Instagram post links (instagram.com/p/…) won't work. Instagram blocks other sites from reading posts. Use the image's own address or a saved file.

How to use Instagram Photo Helper

Paste a direct image link, or upload an image from your device.
Check its dimensions, aspect ratio, and file size.
Download it, or open it full size if the host blocks direct downloads.

About Instagram Photo Helper

Check an image before you post it. Paste a direct image link or upload a photo to see its dimensions, file size, and aspect ratio, including whether it matches Instagram's square, portrait, story, or landscape format.

Instagram image sizes

Instagram feed posts can be square (1:1, 1080 × 1080), portrait (4:5, 1080 × 1350), or landscape (1.91:1, 1080 × 566). Stories and Reels use 9:16 (1080 × 1920). Images in other shapes are cropped, so check the ratio before uploading.

If your image does not match, use the Crop & Rotate tool to crop it to the right shape.

Links vs. uploads

Uploaded images are read on your device and can always be downloaded again. For links, the image is loaded directly from the site that hosts it. Some sites block other websites from reading their files; in that case you can still view the image and open it full size to save it.

Links to Instagram post pages (instagram.com/p/...) are not images, and Instagram does not let other sites read posts, so they cannot be loaded here.

Common uses

Pre-upload checks: Confirm an image fits a feed or story format.
Checking image links: See the real size of an image on a website.
Design hand-off: Verify that exported images match the spec.
