Quality problems with Instagram

[Guest]

Sorry for my bad English!

Hello, I want to upload a series of images I've done with Illustrator, to upload them to Instagram. But these images lose too much quality when they are loaded and even pixelated in some parts. In addition, it is noted that it is a little more blurry and much less clear than the original.

I have tried everything, and although some differences are noticed, the quality is still bad. The conversion is fatal to the quality of the image. I do not know if my way of working the images is wrong or not, but there is not much information about it.

Original photo:

Photo posted on Instagram:

- Metadata of the image

Resolution: 1080x1080

Color profile: sRGB

Format: PNG

I have tried to publish it by changing the size of the image to the pixels that instagram recommends (640x640 or 1080x1080) and it has not worked for me in any case.

I tried changing the format to JPEG and it did not work.

I tried uploading the images from an iOS device and it did not work.

The problem is not unique to this image, it happens to me with all the ones I try to upload. No matter the color, no matter what effects an object has, it all happens to them.

If you have no idea how I can solve this, let me know about the artists who work with Illustrator and publish in Instagram, to be able to lose their own help.

Thank you!

Instagram does their own compression on every upload and that's that. You can't prevent them from doing so.

Instagram is optimized for photos Not art. So it will probably use JPEG. Your drawing has solid edges which are particularly unsuitable for JPEG.
