When I wasn’t TikTok tracking tonight, I was trying to figure out how to deal with Instagram’s grid dimension change from square to 4×5.
I guess this change was announced long ago, but I didn’t get (or ignored) the memo.
I’m not going to worry about my grid, except for my first three pinned images. And Elle (Instagram/Threads inkwell.elle) has a fix for that:
“Click on the post, 3 dots, adjust preview and fit… it’s the best workaround for the new layout but you have to do it on each post individually 😅”
When I edited my three pinned images, I also changed the background from white to black.
Then I experimented with Canva (my primary image and video tool these days) and created an Instagram image that was 4×5 rather than square.
Nice neat grids are overrated anyway; I like mine messy. But I also like it readable.
