Who resizes images for Threads
Threads creators, brands migrating from Twitter/X, and Instagram-native accounts all resize images before posting to hit exact Threads dimensions and avoid unwanted cropping in the feed.
Brand migrating from Twitter/X
Marketing teams repurposing their Twitter visual content for Threads resize horizontal assets to the 1080x566 landscape preset so nothing gets cropped in the feed. They maintain a consistent brand presence without reshooting any content.
Instagram creator launching on Threads
Creators who already post on Instagram use the 1080x1350 portrait preset to maximize vertical feed space on Threads, reusing the same 4:5 crops they already produce. Updating the 320x320 profile photo keeps their avatar identical across both platforms.
Small business owner
Independent shop owners drop product photos into the resizer, pick the 1080x1080 square preset, and get clean posts that look intentional rather than auto-cropped. The square format works equally well shared back to their Instagram grid.
Journalist or newsletter writer
Writers sharing article cover images or quote graphics on Threads resize to 1080x1080 or 1080x1350 so text-heavy visuals stay fully readable without Threads trimming the edges. The portrait format pushes the post higher in followers' feeds.
Event organizer
Conference and community organizers resize promotional graphics to the 1080x1920 Story preset for full-screen Threads Stories, then export a separate 1080x1350 portrait version for the main feed. Two exports from one upload covers both placements.
Social media manager handling multiple accounts
Agencies managing Threads accounts for clients batch-resize branded visuals to the correct preset before scheduling, avoiding the distorted thumbnails that appear when images are posted at wrong dimensions. The 320x320 profile photo preset ensures every managed account has a crisp avatar.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best image size for a Threads post?
+
Threads supports three main aspect ratios. Square posts use 1080×1080 pixels (1:1), portrait posts use 1080×1350 pixels (4:5, which shows more in the feed), and landscape posts use 1080×566 pixels (1.91:1). Portrait tends to get the most visual real estate in the feed.
What size should a Threads story image be?
+
Threads stories use the same full-screen 9:16 format as Instagram. Resize your image to 1080×1920 pixels for a clean, edge-to-edge display.
What size is a Threads profile photo?
+
Threads shares your Instagram profile photo, which displays at 110 pixels but is stored at 320×320 pixels. Use a square image with your subject centered to avoid circular cropping.
Does Threads compress uploaded images?
+
Yes, Threads (like Instagram) recompresses images on upload. Uploading at exactly 1080 pixels wide at high JPG quality minimizes additional loss from platform compression.
How many photos or videos can I add to one Threads carousel post?
+
Up to 20 photos or videos per post. This became available to all users in September 2024.
How long can a video be on Threads?
+
Up to 5 minutes, though Meta's own guidance is that videos under 60 seconds — ideally 15-30 seconds — perform best.
