How to Download 4:5 Instagram Posts (2026)
Instagram feed posts come in multiple aspect ratios: 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, and 9:16 vertical (Reels). The 4:5 portrait format is common for feed posts that aren't Reels. DropZap downloads Instagram posts at their original aspect ratio and resolution — a 4:5 post downloads as 4:5, a square post downloads as square. This guide explains how to identify different aspect ratios, how they download, and what to expect from non-Reel Instagram downloads.
Step-by-step instructions
- Identify the aspect ratio. 4:5 posts are taller than they are wide (portrait). Square posts are equal dimensions. Reels are vertical 9:16.
- Copy the post URL. Open Instagram, find the post, tap Share, and select Copy Link.
- Download with DropZap. Go to dropzap.digital/instagram-downloader, paste the URL, and click Download.
- Verify the dimensions. Open the downloaded file and check properties. A 4:5 post might be 1080x1350 or similar dimensions.
