Instagram has become an important part of everyone's life in today's era. Whether people go on a trip or to a holy place, they create reels by recording short clips of videos everywhere. Many people are also earning well due to their reels. However, to earn from reels, your photo or video must be in high resolution. Your photos get maximum likes and views only when they are of high quality.

Many times it happens that the quality of your photos and videos is good, but as soon as they are uploaded on Instagram, they appear to be of low quality. Actually, Instagram compresses your media files by default, which reduces their quality. If you want to upload HD photos and videos on Instagram, then for this you just have to turn on a simple setting. Let us know what is the right way to upload HD content.

Steps to upload HD photos and videos on Instagram

• Open the Instagram app on your phone and go to the profile page.
• Tap the three lines (≡) icon in the top-right corner of the profile page.
• Then select Settings and Privacy option.
• Scroll down and find Data Usage and Media Quality settings.
• Here you will get an option named Upload at Highest Quality.
• Turn it on so that your photos and videos are uploaded in HD quality.
• Now all uploads on your Instagram will appear in high-resolution.

Keep these things in mind while uploading HD photos and videos on Instagram

• Try to take photos and record videos in high-resolution (at least 1080p).
• It is very important to take care of the frame rate. Shoot the video at 30fps or 60fps so that it looks smooth.
• Keep the image and video size correct. That is, the size of the photo should be 1080×1080 pixels for square photos, 1080×1350 pixels for portrait photos, and 1080×1920 pixels for stories and reels.

• The correct format i.e. JPEG for photos and MP4 format for videos is best.
• For 1080p videos, keep the bitrate at least 5-10 Mbps to get clear quality.
• It is important to use good internet speed, as slow internet can affect the media upload quality.
