'Progressive' means that the image loads in successive waves (i.e. it will appear to get less pixellated as it loads as a whole, rather than appearing top-to-bottom).

'ICC Profile' will include a colour profile with the image.

I can't imagine Instagram honours either of these settings as it applies its own conversions when you upload your image.

so when i checked progressive, the jpg will load as a whole piece of an image without displaying the loading pixel

and when i unchecked it, when i open the jpg, it will open the image from top to bottom and displaying the loading pixel process?

what is this ICC Profile do to the jpg? What is the actual function or purpose to enable this ICC Profile?

This is a fair descripion:

But as I said I don't think it will have any affect on something you upload to Instagram.

Colour profiles are instructions to different devices to interpret the colour in an image.

Again, I doubt Instagram honours them.
