Nowadays, a lot of smartphones have cameras with quality that rivals that of high-end DSLRs. Instagram has a lot of pictures that don’t appear to be as high-quality as the originals.
This is due to Instagram’s restriction on image size, which is 1080x1350px. Instagram will automatically increase the posted image to this particular dimension 1080x1350px if it is smaller than this.
Similarly, Instagram would automatically take care of the picture if it is bigger than the required one and it would compress and resize the image for you.
In the end, all this processing only degrades image quality. With features to create or edit reels, make photo collages, add remarks, and more, Instagram has developed over time.
However, there is currently no built-in functionality in the program that allows users to view other users’ full-size, zoomed profile images. Fortunately, we know how to fix it!
