The Science of Instagram: How to Get More Likes and Comments

CPF is Comments-per-Follower.
LPF is Likes-per-Follower.

  • More tags on a photo = more CPF and LPF.
  • Photos with no filter have the highest LPF.
  • Photos captioned with the world “like” get more LPF; photos captioned with “comment” get more CPF.
  • Unsaturated photos have significantly higher CPF and LPF.
  • Photos with faces have 35 percent higher LPF.
  • Busier photos (those with more edges) have a higher LPF.
  • Cooler colors have more LPF than warmer colors.
  • Luminance – or brightness – has a higher LPF.
