If you are an active Instagram user or an influencer, you might know that the site supports the maximum aspect ratio of 4:5 on portrait posts. Instagram automatically crops images that exceed the maximum aspect ratio. Instagram does this cropping for some fair reasons – The 4:5 limit for image posts prevents users from publishing massive posts, which could obstruct the entire feed.
