On Instagram, it’s impossible to post an album — multiple pictures or videos in one post that you swipe through — with multiple different aspect ratios. For example, if you want to post a landscape image and a portrait image at the same time, you need to crop one or the other (or you could crop both to square). Instagram requires that your photos have the same aspect ratio.

To post multiple different photos or videos with different sizes on Instagram, you need to use a tool to resize them first. To avoid cropping out content, add a white background to make each photo or video in to a square. Then, you can post the album without cropping out or changing the size of your image. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial:

1) Upload your photos/videos to a resizer tool.
Open Kapwing’s Studio and, one at a time, upload the photos you want to post. Kapwing’s Studio is free to use and online, so you don’t need to download an app. It supports images, GIFs and videos.

Note: If you want to edit or add filters to your photos, make sure to do this before resizing. That way, the white background won’t be affected by the color changes and adjustments.

2) Add a white background behind each post
Choose the 1:1 option for Instagram (Kapwing also supports 9:16 sizing for Stories and other formats) and select a white background. You can use Kapwing’s zoom and positioning tools to zoom in, crop, or add a border. Click “Create” once the preview matches what you want your post to look like!

3) Download and post to Instagram
After resizing your posts, you can download them and share them on Instagram as an album. Since each photo/video now has a 1:1 aspect ratio, you can publish them without cropping.

I hope this helps you share your photos and videos with the world! Kapwing’s one-click editor was designed for people with no previous editing expertise, so don’t be afraid to try it out.
