The short answer
1080 by 1080 pixels is the standard size for a square Instagram post. Add your picture and the box below is already set to that size. If your photo is not square, crop it first with the Crop & Rotate tool so nothing is squeezed out of shape.

Frequently asked questions
Does Instagram need exactly 1080 by 1080?
No, it will accept other sizes, but 1080 pixels across is the width it shows at its best, so uploading that avoids extra squeezing by the app.
Why does my picture look stretched?
The original was not square. Turn off the keep-shape option only if you want that; otherwise crop to a square before resizing.
