How to Upload Video at the Highest Quality (Instagram)

To make sure your video looks as sharp and premium as intended, follow these steps:

1. Turn on High Quality Uploads

In Instagram:

• Go to Settings → Data Usage
• Turn ON “Upload at highest quality”

👉 This is account specific, so if your managing multiple Instagram accounts, turn this setting on within each account

2. Use the Instagram Edits App (Recommended)

• Import the video into the Instagram Edits app
• Export in 4K resolution

👉 This helps reduce compression during upload

3. Upload the Exported File

• Upload the exported video directly from your camera roll
• Avoid re-saving or sending through apps like text/email before uploading

4. Strong Internet Connection

• Use WiFi (not cellular) when uploading
• Avoid switching apps while uploading

⚠️

What to Avoid

• Uploading low battery or weak signal
• Sending the video through multiple apps before posting
• Screen recording the video
