Why 4:5 Earns Its Place
A quarter more height
At 1080×1350, a portrait post stands 25% taller than a square one in the feed. The extra height keeps it on screen longer while someone scrolls, which is the whole game in a busy feed.
How it sits in your grid
Instagram profile grids now show taller tiles than the old squares, so a portrait post keeps most of its frame there too. Keep the subject centred and nothing important is lost.
Layouts that use the height
Pin Card, Webinar, and Before & After stack a headline above an image or split the frame top and bottom. A square layout stretched to 4:5 leaves dead space; these are drawn for the taller frame from the start.
Fully editable
Swap the photos, retype every line, and change the colours. Text, images, and shapes are separate layers you can move or remove.
