Questions about Instagram sizes
Are my images uploaded when I resize them?
No. Scissor Image runs an image engine written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly inside your browser tab. Your images are read from your device into the page's memory, processed there and saved back to your device. The site has no upload endpoint, and its Content Security Policy blocks the page from sending data to any other server.
Which size is best for the feed?
Portrait (1080 × 1350) takes up the most space in the feed. Square is the classic choice.
Will Instagram compress it again?
Instagram re-compresses every upload, but starting from its own size avoids an extra resize, which keeps photos sharper.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free, with no account, no daily limit and no watermark added to your images. Because the work happens on your own device, there is no server cost per image for us to recover.
