Open the File Menu, go to Export, and then select Save for Web (Legacy).
Photoshop will automatically separate the image exactly where each Guide falls. With the Splice Tool selected, click on the button in the toolbar above that says Slices From Guides. Then, to actually split the image, select the Splice Tool. Photoshop will automatically create Guides that show where the image can be split to create 5 equal parts. Then set the number of columns to equal the number of sections you want–in our case, 5. Open the View Menu and select New Guide Layout near the bottom of the list.
Photoshop makes divisions like this pretty painless. Now that we have a 5400-pixel-wide photo, we need to divide it into 5 equal parts (since we’ll need 5 individual posts that are 1080 pixels wide each). Keep in mind that the height may not match the recommended dimensions, so some additional cropping may still occur when you upload the final photos. We now have an image that is exactly 5 times the width of a single Instagram post. Go to the Image Menu and select Image Size. Now we can take that number of 5400 pixels, and resize the example image to match. Since we’re aiming for 5 posts, we need our image to be 5 times the width of a single post. The recommended width for a single post is 1080 pixels. We decided that we want to spread this image across 5 Instagram posts. This is relatively easy to figure out, and just requires some quick math. There’s no way we could post this to Instagram as-is without having to crop quite a bit of the image away.īut, using those dimensions listed above, we can split the image into multiple sections, where each section is the perfect width for an Instagram post. Let’s take a look at our example and see how it’s done! Resizing an Image for Instagramįor our example, we’re using a panoramic image that’s very, very wide. With these dimensions in mind, we can figured out how to divide an image into multiple sections of equal width. The Best Image Dimensions for Instagramīefore uploading to Instagram, you’ll want to know the best dimensions and proportions to use so that your images display properly. The best part is that it can be done in just a couple of minutes with some very easy-to-use, automated tools. If you’ve ever wondered how to make seamless multi-posts on Instagram (those posts where you’re able to swipe across a single, panoramic image), we’re here to show you how it’s done!
