Workflow example: Instagram carousel

- Use the image compressor to reduce file size.
- Upload all slides at once as a carousel.
Common social media image mistakes
- Wrong aspect ratio. Instagram re-crops non-matching images. Start at the exact recommended size.
- Small images. Instagram downscales nothing. If you upload 500 px, it looks soft. Always upload at 1080 px.
- Text near edges. Platform UIs cover parts of the image. Keep important content in the safe zone.
- Heavy compression. Social platforms re-compress your uploads. Start at quality 85, not 40.
- Wrong format. Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with text, WEBP when possible.
