Once that’s done then you open another project, and grab the image you just downloaded, once again go to crop and custom. Clicking on the dots in the corners and dragging them will be a little easier to make it the right size.Īfter you get the image just right, next you want to upload the photo to your camera roll by clicking the upload button on the top bar and then selecting camera roll. Now you want to get the picture inside the boundaries you just set, this can be a little annoying having to change your image size with your fingers but try to get the whole thing inside the blue lines that will pop up. Once you have your size right click OK, and then on the check mark at the bottom right of the next screen. If you want a photo that is too large but still get all of it on this feature you can take the original height and divide it by 5, then multiply the answer by 8 to get the width you want to change your image to. The panorama I took would be longer than the 10 photos allowed in the Instagram multi post, so I just settled for 2, but had to do some math the above instructions didn’t include. Just as mentioned above you might have to do some math to get your pixel dimensions just right, but the suggested size is 2160 width and 1350 height. Once the app is open, you add a new project by clicking the plus in the top right corner, and then choose image on the next screen:Īfter selecting your image select crop on the top left side, and then custom in the bottom middle. Now that sounds simple enough but I don’t have fancy programs like Lightroom, and Photoshop, but there is a cheaper, quicker, and easier way to do it all on your phone!įirst download an app called Photoshop Mix, it’s free but does require a quick email account sign up. Once they’re exported, put them on your phone however you choose, and then they’re ready to upload to Instagram! You may also want to go ahead and resize them to 1350px high so Instagram won’t compress them on its end. At the top of the page, you’ll see a button that says “Slides from guides.” Click that and your image will be sliced into two equal parts.įrom there, you’ll just need to “Export” and then “Save for web.” Make sure you’re exporting those files as JPEGs. Make sure the “Gutter” box in that section is set to zero.Ĭlose that out, then select the slice tool. Unlock the background layer, then select “View” from the top of the page followed by “New Guide Layout.” You’ll want to make sure it says “Custom” as the preset and then go to the section labeled “columns” and select the number of images you planned on making. ![]() That means you’ll want to crop your original image to 2160 pixels wide that way when you chop it into two pictures, you’ll have two images that are 1080.Īfter that, put it into Photoshop. For a two-image photo you’ll multiply 1080 x 2, which will get you to 2160. That means you’ll need to do a little math. You ultimately want each photo you upload to have an aspect ratio of 4:5 and be 1350 x 1080. They suggest Lightroom, but you can use something else as well. Here’s an overview of how to make it happen:įirst, open your image in your favorite photo editing software. You can (and should) watch their YouTube tutorial below: ![]() There are great directions by photographer influencers Becki and Chris. To create one, you’ll essentially upload your single image as multiple images, similar to how you would create a slideshow on the platform, except as a person scrolls through it will look like they’re just panning across that single picture. Or more accurately, a seamless multi-post panorama. ![]() ![]() Turns out, there’s an easy way around the problem: a multi-post panorama. Yes, you can include the whole photo in a single post, but in most cases, you have to zoom out so far to fit it all in that it’s impossible to see all the amazing detail you were trying to preserve in the first place. If you’ve ever tried to upload a panorama picture to Instagram-or if I’m being honest, any interesting horizontal picture-then you’ve likely run into issues. I just wish it was easier to share them in their full glory. Now I’m not usually one to post stuff on Instagram, But the pictures I do take on occasion tend to be panoramas.
