Fit a photo into an Instagram square
A wide landscape or tall portrait does not have to be stretched to make a square. This preset contains it inside an editable 1080 px square and leaves white margins. That canvas is a convenience choice, not a promise about every Instagram surface.

Upload the full landscape or portrait.
Use contain fitting with white padding.
Inspect all edges before posting.
The preset makes an image, not a scheduled post. It preserves the full frame at a square size you can edit. Publishing may recompress or crop it further.
Files are processed in India, virus-scanned, and deleted automatically after one hour.
Common questions
Will a wide scene be cut?
Contain fitting keeps the full frame and adds margins. Cover fitting would crop, so keep contain selected.
Can I use transparent margins?
Choose transparent padding and PNG or WebP, after checking what the destination accepts.
Is this a rule for every Instagram upload?
No. The editable square is for this workflow; check the destination format and current guidance.
