Threads uses the same 320x320 pixel square avatar as Instagram, displayed as a circle. Upload your photo below, centre your subject in the crop box, and download a profile picture sized for both apps at once.
| Recommended size | 320 x 320 pixels |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) |
| Displayed shape | Circle |
| Supported formats | JPG, PNG |
| Shared with | Instagram - the same avatar is used |
| Post image | 1080 x 1350 pixels works well in the feed |
Threads accounts are tied to Instagram, and the two share a profile image. Preparing one correctly cropped 320x320 square means the same file works across both without either app applying its own crop.
Threads uses a 320 x 320 pixel square, the same as Instagram, displayed as a circle.
The accounts are linked and share a profile image, so updating one generally updates the other.
Portrait images around 1080 x 1350 pixels take up the most feed space, the same as on Instagram.
A non square upload is cropped to fit the circular frame. Crop to 1:1 first and keep your subject centred.
