Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Your images are processed in your browser and never leave your device. If the plan is small enough, a compressed copy is kept in your browser's local storage so it's still here when you come back. Nothing is sent to a server.

What shape are Instagram profile grid tiles now?

Instagram's profile grid shows posts as 3:4 portrait tiles, which is why the planner uses 3:4 by default. Square 1:1 posts are cropped at the top and bottom to fit. Switch to 1:1 if you want to see the older square layout.

In which order should I post the images?

Instagram puts your newest post at the top left of your profile. Turn on posting order to see a number on each tile, then post number 1 first and work up to the highest number, which ends up at the top left.

Will my plan be saved if I close the page?

Usually, yes. The planner tries to save a compressed copy of your grid in this browser. Browsers only allow a few megabytes of local storage, so a large plan may not fit. The planner tells you when that happens, and you can export the grid as a PNG to keep it.

Can I plan around posts I've already published?

Yes. Upload screenshots or copies of your recent posts, put them below your planned posts, and you'll see exactly how the new images sit next to your existing feed.

Does this tool post to Instagram for me?

No. It's a planning tool, so you still post from the Instagram app. Once a post is live, Hypello can reply to the comments and DMs it brings in, for example by sending a link to everyone who comments a keyword.

Why plan your Instagram grid

Your profile grid is often the first thing a new visitor sees after tapping your name. In a few seconds they decide whether to follow, and a grid with clashing colours or three similar posts in a row makes that decision harder. Planning the next few posts together lets you balance photos, graphics and Reels covers before anything goes live.

The grid now uses 3:4 tiles

Instagram's profile grid shows each post as a 3:4 portrait tile. Square posts and 4:5 posts are cropped to fit, so text near the top or bottom edge can be cut off on your profile even though it shows in full in the feed. Keep important text in the middle of the frame and check it here before you post.

Get the posting order right

New posts appear at the top left and push everything else along by one tile. That means a planned row of three needs to be posted in reverse: right tile first, left tile last. Turn on posting order and the planner numbers every tile for you.

How it works

How to use it

Step 1
Add your images
Upload the photos and graphics you plan to post. Add placeholder tiles for posts you haven't made yet.
Step 2
Arrange the grid
Drag tiles to reorder them, or tap a tile and use the arrow buttons on a phone. The top-left tile is your newest post.
Step 3
Export and post
Download the planned grid as one image to share or keep, then post from the bottom-right tile up to the top-left.
