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

    To be fair. Instagram doesn’t think it’s broken so there’s nothing to fix.

    Instagram is the worst platform to share photos nowadays, yet it’s also the only platform if you want to reach the public. I hate it.

      Sure but most devices shoot in 2:3 so it’s kind of ridiculous that you can’t use the most common ratio on the most popular “photography” site
