What size is an Instagram profile picture?

An Instagram profile picture is 1080 by 1080 pixels, uploaded square and cropped to a circle. It displays as small as 32 pixels in comments, so use the mark on its own rather than a full logo lockup.

Composition

The circular crop

Dashed: what survives

You upload this one as a 1080 × 1080 square and the platform crops it to a circle. The four corners are cut, so nothing can live in them. A single mark, centred and large, survives the crop; a full logo lockup with words does not.

Everything outside the inscribed circle is cut. The mark is sized to survive that crop.
