How can I post DSLR photos to Instagram while maintaining the highest quality? Every time I post something, it compresses it to shit and it looks awful. I've looked everywhere and haven't found any answers. Please help.

Pic related is what I tried posting. Is 345 KB really too big for Instagram??

I find I have to put 15-30% sharpness to my images I post to my IG for them to look like they do on my computer. It's odd that IG does that. Like when I go to post a new photo it looks soft instantly.

Like through the in-app image editor I apply additional sharpening. The image I post is always the highest resolution to begin with.

IG is designed to take your potato camera pictures and make them somewhat less eye-cancerous.

You can't. Instagram compresses the pictures on their servers, you don't have access to any settings related to that process.

They compress to around 230kb maximum size

1080 max width, 1350 max height. For a portrait shot you want 1080x1350 in 4:5, and landscape would be 1080 on the long side by whatever resulting size in height. Stick quality on 80-90, and sharpen the output JPG with a high pass mask or the Nik Collection output sharpener.
