Instagram Edits for your profile

When someone finds a Reel they like, they often tap through to your profile before they follow. What they see is your photo, bio, link, pinned posts and the grid. Guides report the grid now shows thumbnails at 3:4, so square and landscape posts get cropped.

Edits does not change your bio or photo. You do that in Instagram. Edits helps with the videos and covers that fill the page, so the grid looks like one account instead of a random mix.

pinned intro reel

A 15 to 30 second hello: who you are, what you post, why to follow. Pin it to your grid.

grid-friendly covers

Keep the title and faces in the middle, inside the 4:5 area, so the 3:4 grid crop does not cut them.

one look

Use the same font, colours and caption style on every Reel so the grid feels like one account.

series covers

Number a series, such as part 1, part 2, so people can follow along from the grid.

best-of pins

Pin your three strongest Reels. Pinned posts fill the first row, so pick the ones you want seen first.

clean hooks

Make the first frame readable on its own. It is often the thumbnail someone sees first.

Tip: check how a cover looks as a small 3:4 crop before posting. If the text is hard to read there, make it bigger.

Sizes come from third-party guides and Instagram changes the grid from time to time, so treat them as a starting point.

Already posted? A guide says Adjust Preview in the post's three-dot menu lets you change how it shows on the grid. Check the app.

edits can't edit your profile

Bio, photo, links and highlights are changed in the Instagram app, not Edits.

grid sizes may change

The 3:4 figures come from guides. Instagram has changed its grid before, so check your own profile.

pin limits

Three pinned posts is what guides report. Check the app for your account.

content still matters

A tidy grid helps, but good videos bring followers. See {L('instagram-for-creators/create/reels/','Reels')}.

can i edit my instagram profile in edits

No. Edits edits videos. You change your bio, photo and links in Instagram. Edits helps with what shows on your profile: Reels, covers and a pinned intro.

what size is the instagram profile grid

Guides report the grid shows thumbnails at 3:4 (1013 by 1350 pixels). Square and landscape posts are cropped to fit, so keep key text and faces near the centre.

what size should a reel cover be

One guide suggests 1080 by 1920 for the Reel, with text kept inside the 4:5 area (1080 by 1350) so nothing is cut off in the grid or the Reels feed.

how many posts can i pin

Up to three, reported to include Reels. Open the post, tap the three dots and choose pin to main grid. Pinned posts appear in the order you pin them.

can i fix a cover after posting

A guide says you can tap the three dots on a post and choose Adjust Preview. Check the app for your version.

what should my pinned intro reel say

Who you are, what you post and why to follow, in 15 to 30 seconds. Record with the Edits teleprompter, add captions and a clear first frame.
