Hi there,

What I’m wondering is if you increase to 150 dpi, does Instagram compress it back to 72 dpi?

So is it worthwhile increasing to 2048x2048 and 96dpi, or 150dpi and …? (I tried 1080 px and the thumbnail looked cr*p so I assume my mistake was not increasing pixels relatively) OR is insta just going to compress it back down to 1080px @ 72 dpi?

And am I understanding this correctly?
