What This Tool Does
The Instagram Feed Planner lets you visually arrange and preview your Instagram posts before publishing. Upload images, assign color placeholders, and drag posts into the order you want to see how your feed grid will look.
A cohesive Instagram grid helps build a recognizable brand identity. This tool lets you plan your content layout, test different arrangements, and ensure visual consistency without posting anything publicly.

Best Practices for Feed Planning
- Alternate between different content types (close-ups, wide shots, text graphics) to create visual variety.
- Maintain a consistent color palette across your feed for a cohesive brand appearance.
- Plan at least 9 to 12 posts ahead to see how your grid will develop over the next few rows.
- Use placeholder colors to plan the visual rhythm before uploading final images.
- Consider how each row of three posts looks together, since each row tells a small visual story.
- Review your grid on both desktop and mobile since the grid display differs slightly between devices.
