1080 × 1350
Instagram's tallest feed post. The studio's 4:5 frame is the same shape.
- Profile grid
The feed shows the whole post. Your profile grid shows it at 3:4, trimming a sliver off each side, so keep words in from the left and right edges.

Six to start from
Rendered at 4:5 by the studio's own renderer. Each opens there at this size, ready to change and export.
Quote cards and announcements
Put one line of text on a gradient and it reads as a designed post, not a screenshot of a note. Keep the palette for the whole series and your grid looks planned.
Carousels in one palette
Export the same palette at several seeds for the slides of a carousel. Each slide is different, and the swipe feels continuous.
Portrait beats square
A 4:5 post is a quarter taller than a square one in the feed, which is more of the screen for the same scroll.
Other sizes
The same studio, set to another place a background goes.
