How do you get high quality pictures on Instagram??

[Ori]

I see celebrities and photographers upload clear high quality pictures on Instagram, I take clear pictures that are great quality on my phone but when I upload them onto Instagram they're low quality and grainy. I've tried cropping them to a smaller size and it doesn't do anything for the picture except maybe make it look worse. Any advice would be so helpful, thanks!!!

The difference is that the sensors on the pro cameras are huge when compared to the sensor on your phone.

This link should help you understand why there is a quality difference

The size of the sensor is much more important than the number of pixels that populate them

Simple. Take a photo with a real camera and upload it to Instagram.

Your problem is:
I take clear pictures...on my phone"

Phones are OK for outdoor daylight shots and can occasionally produce extremely good results, but to produce consistently high quality pictures you need a camera.

My advice - dump your toy camera and get a real one.

They've most likely been taken with a DSLR, downloaded onto their phone or ipad then uploaded them, I've done it myself before. iPhone cameras just really aren't great quality! Good luck
