I’ve seen that professional photographers use white borders around their photos on Instagram, why do they make their photos smaller by doing that? To preserve image quality?
If that is so why don’t they just use standard 1:1 , 3:4 or landscape mode which ig supports instead of custom crops
I do this on posts where I am doing portrait and landscape aspect ratios. Instagram will let you use custom aspect ratios but you can only use 1 aspect ratio throughout your post. And it’s got the added benefit of looking nice and making your profile look a bit neater
