How to use the Instagram No Crop
- Drop your photo — square with white borders is already set.
- Change the border color or switch to portrait 4:5 if you like.
- Download and post it.
Square or portrait?
Square 1:1 works for every photo. For tall photos, portrait 4:5 adds less border and shows the picture bigger in the feed. Then resize to 1080 px wide with Resize Image for Instagram.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Instagram crop my photo?
The feed only accepts ratios between 4:5 (tall) and 1.91:1 (wide). Borders bring any photo inside that range.
Can I use a color other than white?
Yes. Pick any border color, or match a color from the photo.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It is processed in your browser.
Can I install Instagram No Crop as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. Instagram No Crop is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
