There are a few additional requirements for Instagram Photo Stories. They include:

  • Photos must be within a 4:5 to 1.91:1 aspect ratio range
  • Minimum resolution of 150x150 (lower resolutions will be scaled up to the minimum)
  • Maximum resolution of 1920x1080 (higher resolutions will be scaled down to the maximum)
 
Note: When cross-posting to multiple networks, the number of photos you can upload is based on the network with the smallest maximum number. For example, if you choose both a Twitter profile and a LinkedIn profile in the Compose window, you will only be able to attach four photos.
