Lightroom Export Settings For Instagram To Keep Photos Sharp and Clean
📸 Here’s how to use the best Lightroom export settings for Instagram so your photos stay sharp and perfectly sized when you upload them.
Instagram compresses everything you post, but these export settings make sure your images look clean and professional whether it’s a square, landscape, portrait, or story post.
✅ Use JPEG format with quality set to 100
✅ Resize images to Instagram’s ideal dimensions:
• Square: 1080 x 1080
• Landscape: 1080 x 566
• Portrait/Stories: 1080 x 1350
✅ Set resolution to 72 PPI for web display
✅ Enable “Sharpen for Screen” at Standard or Low
✅ Set metadata to “Copyright Only” to keep files light
✅ Use “Show in Explorer” after export to quickly find your photos
