Instagram is one of the most popular and trending social media platform all over the world. On Instagram, there is always something new and interesting roaming around for everyone.

Now, if you are also a big fan of 4K videos on Instagram like most of us. Then you might already know that uploading a high 4k quality Video on Instagram directly does not work because of the huge video size.

Here we will learn how we can upload a high 4k quality video in our profile or Instagram page effectively. So, first, we will begin with some basic knowledge about compromised video quality on Instagram.

Why Videos Quality get compromised on Instagram?

Now, let’s find out the possible reasons why our video quality gets compromised while we upload it on the Instagram.

Instagram is available and used all over the globe with millions of users uploading videos every time. Which takes a lot of storage and it is very difficult to handle that amount of data. So basically Instagram server’s auto compresses any video which is uploaded in 4k quality down to 1080 resolution ( Max supported size).

So, when Instagram compresses the video its quality gets very low and videos looks blurry and patchy sometimes because of forced and improper compression of videos.
