Optimizing story images for Instagram

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Instagram stories display at 1080x1920px — resize to those exact dimensions before compressing to avoid extra processing.

JPEG at 80% quality is usually enough for story backgrounds since text overlays hide most compression artifacts.

For story series, compress all images to the same target size so the upload queue doesn't hang on one large file.
