Why does my image look crap on Instagram?

[Uzi Cohen]

Hey photoshop masters,
I created some lettering piece on Photoshop using (with gaussian blur). I created it with 1080X1080, sRGB, 300dp and exported it as png from Export > "Save for Web". When I upload it on Instagram the image is losing from its sharpness and the blurry areas look damn bad.
Here's the original image: http://imgur.com/a/JlNzT
Here's the image after I uploaded it on Instagram: http://imgur.com/a/rqkBs

Thanks guys :youtheman:

Since this is almost certainly a problem with how Instagram handles images and doesn't have anything to do with the method (ie, Photoshop) you used to generate the image you submitted, you probably would be better served by also posting this question on an Instagram technical help discussion group. Unfortunately, here, we specialize in Adobe applications. You should definitely stop back here as someone may come along in this forum who knows Instagram well and may be able help you out, but I would definitely post elsewhere, as well.

Sorry,
