Instagram how to post multiple photos without cropping

Need to share square, landscape and portrait pictures at one stroke? Resize them in a special tool, so that they have the same aspect ratio but keep the initial view and orientation!

Upload to Instagram multiple photos with different sizes

Sounds complicated? It’s really easier than it sounds!

Our online tool lets you resize without cropping by adding borders of different colors in order to upload multiple photos to Instagram.

It’s free and you don’t even have to create an account or log in if you don’t want to. You can use it on any device, be it a Mac or Windows, smartphone, or tablet. If you’re an iPhone owner, you can make use of Clideo's Video Resizer App and edit visuals in an offline mode.

Read on to learn how to share multiple photos on Instagram in four intuitive steps.

1. Upload an initial file

   Open the Visual Resizer by Clideo and hit the big blue button to import a file from your personal device.

   

   Alternatively, call the drop-down menu on the right side of the pane and upload a photo, stored on one of your cloud storage accounts: Google Drive or Dropbox.

2. Resize the visual

   Choose the social medium you need, Instagram in our case, then pick the needed post type. There are more than 90 presets!

   

   If you want the exact dimensions, hit the “Custom” option and input the photo’s height or width manually, the second parameter will be set automatically in reference to the chosen aspect ratio.

   

   If you don’t want to follow any exact aspect ratio pattern at all, “untick” the chain sign between the boxes and set both parameters manually (don’t forget to check their minimums and maximums in the manual).

   

3. Crop the visual

   The idea of this whole thing is to allow multiple posting without cropping to keep the whole image. There are two crop options:

   If sideboards appeared, select their background colour or blur them. The standard palette includes 14 hues, but you are not limited to them: enter any hex code you want (Google will help to find the best ones) and enjoy your unique customized colour.

   Click on “Resize” and let the magic begin!

4. Put multiple pictures on Instagram

   Save the result to your personal device or to the cloud and repeat the steps with the rest of the photos you are going to post. Don’t forget to choose the same preset for all of them! When all the images are properly resized, share them!

   

Instagram’s multiple photos feature is a great way to show off several of your best images in one post.

You can even share a post with multiple videos too – up to ten photos and videos at once.

Here’s a guide on how to do it. We’ll also answer some of the most common questions about how to post on Instagram too.

Let’s dive in!

How do you Post Multiple Pictures on Instagram in 2022?

1. Tap on the plus icon on the top of the screen

When you open Instagram, by default, it will show you the home page.

On the top bar, you’ll see a plus icon – that’s the one that allows you to upload your content. By default, it opens as a New Post.

Another way to do it is by going to your profile page and tap on the plus sign there. In this case, it will open Create menu. Here, choose Post.

2. Tap on the double-picture icon 

On the New Post page, you can see a preview of your image on the top half of the screen and your gallery on the lower half. These two parts are divided by a menu bar.

On the left side of the menu bar, you can open different folders to look for your photos.

There are also two icons on the right side of the bar. Tap on the icon on the left that looks like a rounded-corner square on top of another.

This is the Select Multiple button – tap on it.

3. Tap the images you want to include

Once you tap on the Select Multiple button, you’ll notice a few changes.

First of all, the crop button disappears – so it’s important that you have your images in square format if you don’t want Instagram to crop them.

The other change is on the gallery. All images now have circles on them, and the first one has a number 1 inside that circle. If you tap on another picture, it will get the number 2 and so on, up to 10.

Keep in mind that the numbers also assign the order in which they will appear on the post. If you tap on a photo by mistake, just tap on it again to remove the number and take it off the selection.

Once you’re done, tap on the arrow on the top right corner of the screen – that’s the Next button.

4. Apply a filter 

On the next screen, you’ll find the Filters – just like you would on a regular post. However, there’s no Edit option.

If you decide to apply a filter, keep in mind that it uses the chosen filter for all the photos by default. If you don’t want that, tap on each image and change the filters individually.

Tap on the arrow on the top right to go to the next screen when you’re done.

5. Add captions, tags, and other settings

This is the last screen before posting. Here you can write captions and hashtags that will apply to all the photos in the post. The same goes for the Location and advanced settings – they will be the same for all the images.

The only thing you can do individually is to add Tags. When you’re ready, just tap on the check icon on the top right, and this will publish your post.

Now, if you go to your feed, you’ll see the first image and a few dots underneath that represent the number of pictures in the post – that’s also how other people will see it.

When someone taps on that photo, they need to scroll left to see the other images. As they scroll, a number will appear on top to indicate how many images are there and which one are you seeing – for example, 1/10, 2/10,3/10 and so on.
