Build a readable Instagram profile

Make the photo, name and bio work together before decorating them.

Start with one clear purpose

Write one sentence about what this account posts or offers. Keep that idea consistent across the bio and the images you choose; a profile does not need a complicated brand system.

Crop for the small circle

Use a face or logo with enough margin to survive a circular display. Check the avatar at a small size and remove detail that disappears.

Write and check the bio

State what visitors will find, include only true facts and end with one useful action. Try ordinary text first. Add a short styled accent only if it remains readable after pasting.
