Why Is My Instagram Post Blurry? 2025 Ultimate Fix Guide

1. Instagram Image Compression Issues

1.1 Platform Compression Algorithms

Typical symptoms: Sharp original images become pixelated after upload

Root cause: Instagram applies aggressive compression (especially on Android) to save bandwidth

1. Step1: Use Fansoso's image pre-optimizer tool before uploading
2. Step2: Set resolution to 1080px width (Instagram's preferred size)
3. Step3: Export as JPEG with 80-85% quality setting

Pro Tip: Fansoso's batch processor can optimize product images in bulk - saving hours for e-commerce sellers

1.2 Incorrect Aspect Ratios

Typical symptoms: Cropped or stretched images with quality loss

Root cause: Instagram automatically crops non-standard ratios (1:1, 4:5, 16:9 supported)

1. Step1: Check Fansoso's aspect ratio calculator for your content type
2. Step2: For carousels, maintain consistent ratios across all slides

2. Technical Upload Problems

2.1 Poor Network Conditions

Typical symptoms: Partial uploads causing artifacts and blur

Root cause: Unstable connections trigger Instagram's fallback compression

1. Step1: Use Fansoso's upload accelerator with retry logic
2. Step2: Schedule posts during low-traffic periods

2.2 Browser/App Limitations

Typical symptoms: Quality differences between devices

Root cause: Mobile apps vs desktop browsers handle uploads differently

1. Step1: Always use Instagram's official app for uploads
2. Step2: Enable "Upload at Highest Quality" in Fansoso's mobile config
