Instagram just changed its post size for 2025 (The new 3:4 ratio!)

Instagram’s playing with dimensions again... and this time, it’s in our favour 🙌 In this tutorial, I walk you through Instagram’s newest post sizing update (yep, there's a new best size to use!) and how to set it up inside Canva.

Whether you’re DIYing your graphics or using templates, this updated post ratio gives you more space to shine without worrying about grid cropping. Let me show you exactly how to design using the new 3:4 ratio and resize your old content without stress.

NOTE: The "Explore" tab will still crop your images to a SQUARE (1080x1080) so keep important content in the middle of your design.

Here’s what we cover:
Why square posts are no longer ideal
The difference between 4:5 vs 3:4 ratios
Exact Canva dimensions to use (hint: it’s 1080 x 1440px)
How to manually set up or resize your designs in Canva
What this means for your grid layout and pinned posts
