Low quality logo when trying to upload Instagram profile picture!

I’m using Affinity Designer on Mac and everything is perfect until I’m trying to upload my logo to my Instagram profile picture. When I upload it on my laptop, the picture looks sub par quality and looks not near as clean as when it is in the program. I look on my page on my phone, it looks just as bad. I’ve done multiple pixel sizes 110x110 all the way up to 1500x1500. I’ve also done every export setting for PNG and JPEG and still upload is very sloppy. I’ve looked through just about every forum and nothing is working. I understand that once I export from designer, it rasterizes the layers or something like that. Please help because I would love to use these programs but it’s not shaping out to be that way.

If you're exporting to PNG, JPEG then everything will be rasterised/flattened during the export. Once exported, how do the images look when previewed at 100% in a default image viewer (Preview)? If it looks correct they isn't  really anything you can do in Designer to improve how it looks on Instagram.

Instagram may be resampling the image during upload to optimise it for their system.
