📑 Assets required for your submission form
To create your Instagram post, the following assets are needed:
- Image: 1 image without copy or branding
- Caption: 200 characters or less, 2-3 hashtags
- URL: website for link in bio
- Company Instagram Account: URL preferred
🖼️ What you need to know about image quality
As a best practice, high-resolution, clean images without any copy or branding are requested. Images should be sharp and well-lit to catch the viewer's attention. Images that are underlit or have harsh shadows can lose detail and appear less professional. Ensure the main subject of your photo is clear and well-positioned. We recommend following the rule of thirds, a photographic guideline that divides an image into nine parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines. Placing subjects at these intersections or lines makes photos more engaging.
Image Specifications:
- Image Resolution: 1080x1350px, vertical 4:5 ratio (main grid safe zone)
- Maximum File Size: 30 MB
- Preferred File Types: JPG, PNG
🔗 Guidelines regarding content and links
AZURE editors will ensure the content remains clear and concise. For carousel posts, please make sure that all images submitted adhere to the same specifications. When an image carousel is used for your post, the caption shown will be the same for each image. Caption may include text tags and UTM links are accepted.
