When should you post on Instagram to get the highest engagement?

There is no single best time to post on Instagram, but understanding your audience will help you get better engagement.

Try researching the best time to post on Instagram in your industry, and consider how your audience might engage with your post. For example, in tech and financial services, posts that go live in the morning on weekdays do best because this is when teams are planning and strategizing.

What is Instagram Story size in inches?

Instagram Stories don’t have a fixed size in inches because they are a digital asset and are defined in pixels. The ideal Instagram Story size in pixels is 1080 x 1920.

Story size in inches depends on DPI (dots per inch) and PPI (pixels per inch), and both vary by device. For example, at 72 PPI, an Instagram Story would measure 15 x 26.67 inches, and at 96 PPI, it would measure 11.25 x 20 inches.

Because of this, it’s much better to measure Instagram stories in pixels. Use Quillbot’s free Instagram Story Templates to make sure you’re using the right story size.
