Is your grid ready to go vertical? 👀
Instagram has recently started rolling out changes to its grid, moving from the classic square (1:1) aspect ratio to a more vertical 4:5 ratio. This update means that your carefully curated grid might soon look different, with taller posts taking centre stage. The change is designed to align Instagram's grid more closely with vertical content formats like Reels and Stories, offering more space for visual storytelling.
If your profile hasn’t yet switched, it’s only a matter of time, so it's a good idea to start preparing now.
Begin by creating content that looks good in both the traditional square format and the new 4:5 ratio—this ensures your posts won’t get awkwardly cropped when the change rolls out to your account.
Adapting to these new dimensions will not only keep your feed looking sharp but also provide an opportunity to refresh your content strategy. Embrace this change as a way to make your visuals more dynamic and engaging.
To make sure you’re ahead of the curve, start resizing your images to 1080x1350 pixels for future posts. This way, your content will slay, regardless of the format Instagram uses 💅
