No matter what size you go above 1080px in width, the Instagram compresses the files and uploads them at max width of 1080px. Now image, you put 5000px 1:1 ratio, you can logically understand how much it will compress the image. I just saw your video and wanted to share this information with everyone, that 1080px width is the best/max px you can go when designing for Instagram specifically. Now, it really does matter the PPI when designing the posts.
What Im saying here its from years of experience uploading and getting results on Instagram, one quick search states the resolutions u mention we all know that, but still when you post, the images dont look right. but with the method Im teaching here, they do look better, im not saying I know exactly what happens hahaha but from my experimentation, this resolution compresses the better and end up looking better.
you just copy paste what is popular fir old days , things have been changed my man and no one knows how the algorithm work but what i know is that 1080px is too low for modern devices and me myself can upload like 1900px or so , i can tell this by redownloading the posted image . also i think the device used to upload the image can make a diff
Haven't done research on this topic in a long time, this video is refreshing. I remember there were some weird techniques to prevent major file compression on Twitter. I plan on uploading my art in a more serious manner. Thanks for the help
thanks for sharing this with us.a question please does this work for behance too i mean to make a portfolio following these tips or theres another way to that ?
Just to save disc space, ig will compress the ant man shit out of it either way and it wont effect your quality either way. But use it as a base. Up n down. Ive been using 77
does this work for prints as well? or how do I design a poster that has both instagram and print settings? what size in px or in equals a standard print that translates to the instagram size (portrait)
thats not possible my g, but like I said at the beginning of the video, first work big, 300 dpi, around 4000x5000 that would work for print, then make a smaller size document to create the social media exports.
im not sure exactly what it does, but ive found that 60% looks better afeter compressign than the 100% bc I assume that the later has more to compress, and thats why I looks worst after posting.
When i make artworks for Spotify and Soundcloud I use 3000x3000 as original fit to fit perfectly the size, which size i can use for Instagram when I export?
for square I would make it 2000 x 2000 72 dpi usign this same method, but may be try putting the square image of the cover in like a 4:5 canvas, and get a bit of black empty space around it, so it covers more of the screen. get what I mean?
technically yes png would should look better, if I was making a portfolio website ID go for that, but for the social media purpose, ive found that png gets compressed out of exsistance, jpg has woked better for me as I show in the video!
@@design.syndrome very interesting, I will give this a go. I have noticed that Facebook compresses PNGs the most. They only way that my PNGs looks fine (and this is on Insta) is if I save them down to a width of 1080px. Now, the only thing that I am concerned about is the colour translation of a JPG on digital.
I actually do 2180 x 2180 at 144dpi. Basically double the size of an ig post. I also export a png to avoid double compression. Ig is doing some compression already.
its because first we layout the resolution for the main piece the one thats the original lets say, then we export in a lesser resolution so the social media apps has less work to do compressing them
2000x2500 at 72 dpi and Save for Web is the exact technique I do for sharing to socials. Save for Web is for us old school designers (I'm 41). 😆
Excellent tutorial. Quick, simple, clear, effective. Big up!

you're the goat, fam
this was so cool! thanks! I will use it from now on
real good tutorial! instant sub
Very helpful, thanks as always for everything Mauro!
thanks for sharing this with us.a question please does this work for behance too i mean to make a portfolio following these tips or theres another way to that ?
Behance it’s a bit diferent bc their Compresion it’s a bit better imo. Usually a png I’m the dimensions they specify will look amazing
Does this work for illustrator too?
ur da goat
thanks g glad u liked it!
I'm going to try my man :3
Good video keep it up man
Great tutorial!! 🖤
This is great men! thanks!
thank you so much!
do you know the export settings for when i plan to post on Twitter? thanks man
I'm wondering why the quality set to 60 not 100? Thanks for the tutorial :)

have you made a tutorial on this kind of design?
browse the channel! i have some tutorials on this style! and a lot of process videos of my pieces! including the one I show here!
Hola que onda, buenisimo el video no tenia idea de todo esto. por casualidad sabes sobre exportacion de premier? :))))))))))))))).
good video mate

Is there a reason to keep the jpg quality at 60% at the web export? I always just crank it up at 100, thinking I'd get the best results.

Why are you exporting as JPEG for digital use and not PNG, does it change the quality?

Would you know what’s the ratio for ig stories using your settings 2000 (1080) x ? (1920)?
Thankyou kind sir
When you save the JPEG in high resultion using > SAVE AS... JPEG OPTIONS come up .. what Quality do I set it at?? Standard settings are 8-High
up
why do you keep the quality at 60% and not 100% on the last export?
BC from my testing the 100 percent one doesnt look that much better to the 60% one, but it does get more compressed when posting!
@@design.syndrome Wow good to know!
Interesting. I usually just design at 1080x1080 or 1080x1350. I’ll give this a shot. Why jpeg and not png? Also, vamoooooooos carajo!!! 🇦🇷
I actually do 2180 x 2180 at 144dpi. Basically double the size of an ig post. I also export a png to avoid double compression. Ig is doing some compression already.
@@its4fern what size u use for instagram story?
thanks sir
what is the least ppi and size ( resolution ) for the highest quality in instegram and web, its hard for my pc to run 300 ppi! (: PLEASE ANSWER
Save for web isn't working for me anymore, everytime I try to save a close-up it instead exports the full image which is annoying :(
🔥🔥🔥
what size for the story ratio?
Stories it’s 9:16 1920x1080
@@design.syndrome for the detail the bigger version?
wow thx u buddy 🫡🥳
🔥
how profile tiktok :(
why 60% and not 100% in jpeg?
its hits the compression sweetspot
Why do you say to put 4000/5000 pixels then you change it in the middle of the video… ?
its because first we layout the resolution for the main piece the one thats the original lets say, then we export in a lesser resolution so the social media apps has less work to do compressing them
grandee
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
well... never had a problem with stills uploaded in ig tbh xd pointless video. The ig problem lies on uploading videos
Wow thats very lucky g! But many peopple do have issues, I get messages on it every day!
