Instagram has now allowed users to post pictures of each size, even rectangular ones. Whatever the size of your shot is, Instagram will automatically resize, compress or enlarge to make it compatible with its required dimensions. So, if you try to upload panorama shots on Instagram, they do not always look appealing visually (they get tiny and lose their essence). Instagram may also chop them to fit them on. We will explain how to do picture splitting with 3rd party apps and upload a split panorama as swipeable post. So, let’s begin!
Splitting Panorama Shots for Instagram
If you directly try to post panorama shots on Instagram, it will resize the photo to make it compatible with its desired aspect ratios. Your beautiful Pano shots of the Grand Canyon or Niagra Falls will get so tiny by Instagram to fit it in. This is frustrating as you recently learned how to take perfect panorama shots only to discover that you cannot share them with the world just like you intended because of image size restrictions. See the image sizes below:
Square Photo – 1:1 ratio (1080 x 1080 px)Landscape Photo – 1.91:1 ratio (1080 x 566 px)Portrait Photo – 4:5 ratio (1080 x 1350 px)Stories – 9:16 ratio (1080 x 1920 px)
But, fret not! We tell you that you can share your panorama shots precisely as you intend with your friends on Instagram with just a little work. To do that, you have to split your panorama shots into multiple small square tiles (2, 3, 4, 5) or pieces using Photoshop or other free Apps. All you need to do is divide or cut your panorama shot into multiple squares to fit perfectly without compromising on its aesthetics. Users can swipe left to see all the angles of the panorama shot uploaded on Instagram as a Swipeable post. If you do not want to use Photoshop, then you can go for these free Apps on your iPhone and Android devices to split the panorama photo. Let’s begin with some simple Apps for both Android and iPhone for splitting your panorama shots.

Plus, it also enables them to change the direction of the panorama. Please note if you cut your picture into more pieces, you will lose more of the shot from up and bottom. So, we recommend going for 3 pieces split for the best results.
