Compression strategy
- Feed video is displayed at 1080 px max on the long edge; we downscale only when needed.
- H.264 + AAC MP4 matches Instagram feed expectations.
- We preserve your original aspect ratio instead of forcing a crop.
- Any feed video already at spec with an efficient bitrate is left alone — no pointless re-encoding.
FAQ
What is the best size for Instagram feed video?
1080 px on the longest side. Aspect ratio is your choice — 4:5 portrait gets the most screen space.
Why does my feed video buffer?
Usually because of an enormous bitrate. Our 1080p preset at ~6 Mbps streams smoothly on normal connections.
Can I compress a long feed video?
Yes — duration doesn't change, but the same memory-friendly encoding applies to any length.
