- Resize first, then compress. Biggest quality win.
- Export sRGB. Ensures consistent color across devices.
- Batch your assets. Create a feed + Stories version from the same master.
🚫 Mistakes
- Text too close to edges in Stories/Reels → UI covers it. (Use the safe area.) Social News Desk
- Posting 4K files expecting better quality → IG compresses; stick to the exact target size. Instagram Help Centre
- Using PNG for photos → heavy files; choose WebP/JPEG unless transparency is needed.
