The feature is currently a global test and only available to a small group of people who&#8217;ve linked their Instagram accounts to their Facebook account. When you create a post on Facebook, the option to &#8220;Post to Instagram&#8221; will appear in the compose box next to editing your audience or creating a new album.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitations_of_the_cross-posting_feature\"><\/span>Limitations of the cross-posting feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some limitations with the cross-posting feature on Instagram, though. While cross-posting between Facebook and Instagram is convenient, it&#8217;s also important to note that the reach of your posts will be different. While Facebook users have the largest following, Instagram&#8217;s user base is younger. Nonetheless, you should still use the cross-posting feature to spread your posts further. Here are some examples of limitations.<\/p>\n<p>The cross-posting feature isn&#8217;t available for accounts with two-factor authentication. This means that users need to disable two-factor authentication in their Facebook account before attempting to cross-post to Instagram. There are also some restrictions on the type of posts you can make, such as a single image. However, this feature is still in beta, and will undoubtedly improve as it matures.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_time_to_post_to_Instagram\"><\/span>Best time to post to Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best time to post to Instagram from Facebook depends on a number of factors, including your audience. While no single study has pinpointed the optimal time to post to Instagram, there are some recent studies that suggest certain times are more effective than others. Hootsuite, for example, found that the most popular time to post on Instagram is 11am on Wednesday. This coincides with the start of the US workday. On the west coast, that time corresponds with the start of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Sprout recommends posting on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. It does not recommend posting on Sundays. On the other hand, Mondays and Wednesdays between 10am and noon are ideal times. Thursdays and Fridays between 10am and 11am are also ideal for posting to Instagram. However, this may not be possible for everyone. In addition, there are several studies that suggest posting on Thursdays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitations_for_vertical_photos\"><\/span>Limitations for vertical photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to post a vertical photo on Instagram, you&#8217;ve probably noticed that you can&#8217;t. Instagram&#8217;s cropping feature automatically resizes your photos to a 4:3 aspect ratio, but you can avoid the cropping process by using third-party apps. A free example is Squaready, which allows you to upload images without cropping. But before you start cropping your photos, here are a few tips to help you avoid the problem.<\/p>\n<p>First, Instagram requires that your photos be 320 x 320 pixels or 1080 x 1350 pixels. Anything outside of this range can result in pixelated or blurry photos. If possible, upload your photos via desktop or web to preserve their quality. Also, if you&#8217;re uploading a portrait-style photo, make sure that its dimensions are 1080 x 1350 pixels and has a 4:5 aspect ratio. This makes it easy to edit your photo and ensure that it&#8217;s the perfect size.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitations_for_square_photos\"><\/span>Limitations for square photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Until recently, Instagram only accepted photos in the square format. Now, Instagram allows squares with sides of 1080 pixels, but has maintained its previous grid rules. Square photos will still be displayed on your profile and your thumbnails will be square. If you want to share your square photos on Instagram, be sure to read more about its limitations. Listed below are some of the main limitations you should know about square photos. Also, you should know that Instagram thumbnails are based on pixel dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>The default size for Instagram photos is square. Although it isn&#8217;t ideal for sharing square photos, they are still the most popular. This aspect ratio makes Instagram&#8217;s grid display your photos as they were meant to be seen. Square images look best when framing a product or creating a cohesive grid. However, if you&#8217;re trying to use this aspect ratio for your images, make sure you&#8217;ve chosen the right image resolution. For example, if you&#8217;re uploading portrait photos, you should use an aspect ratio of 4:5. This will make your final displayed image closer to 600 x 600px.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F6cF61sg5yc\" height=\"203\" width=\"363\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I Post From Facebook to Instagram?
