Resize image for Instagram post without cropping
To post a photo on Instagram without cropping, fit the whole picture inside the post's frame and fill the gaps with a border. The resizer opens on a 1080 × 1080 square with a white border; switch to fit on blur for a softer look.

Border, blur or a different shape
A white border suits screenshots, posters, quotes and art, where every edge matters. Pick black or a brand colour if it suits your grid better.
Fit on blur fills the gaps with a soft, enlarged copy of the same photo, which looks less like a frame. If your photo is only a little too wide or tall, try the 4:5 or 3:4 portrait size first: it may fit with thinner bars.
Questions
How do I post a full picture on Instagram without cropping?
Fit it inside a 1080 × 1080 or 1080 × 1350 frame with a border, download it, then post it. Because it already has the right shape, Instagram doesn't crop it.
How do I fit a panorama on Instagram?
Choose fit, not fill. A wide panorama ends up as a strip across the middle of the square with borders above and below. To show it bigger, split it into a swipe carousel instead.
