# Turn a tweet into an Instagram post

Instagram crops anything that is not close to square in the feed grid, which is what mangles most tweet screenshots people repost. This page starts at a true 1:1 canvas at 1080 by 1080 so the card sits centred with room to breathe and nothing important lands near an edge.

## How it works

1. Paste the link to the post.
1. Keep the 1:1 square canvas Instagram feeds expect.
1. Use the orange-to-pink gradient, or pick your own colours.
1. Download the JPG and upload it to Instagram.

## Settings on this page

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Format | JPG |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 |
| Theme | light |
| Background | gradient |
| Gradient | #f58529 → #dd2a7b |
| Corner radius | 20px |
| Padding | 96px |
| Scale | 3x |
| Show metrics | false |

Padding is set generously on purpose: the grid thumbnail is a further centre crop of your square, so the tweet needs margin to survive it. Pick a gradient or brand colour for the surround and the post will look designed rather than screenshotted.


## Questions

### What size should a tweet image be for Instagram?

1080 by 1080 pixels for a square feed post. Instagram will re-compress anything larger, so exporting bigger does not help.

### Why is the padding so large by default?

The feed grid crops your square again into a smaller thumbnail. Extra margin keeps the tweet text away from where that crop bites.

### Should I include the like and repost counts?

Usually not for a designed post, so they are hidden here. Turn metrics back on if the engagement numbers are the point of the graphic.
