Instagram post scheduler for feed posts, carousels, reels and stories
Schedule Instagram posts, carousels, reels and stories from one calendar, and cross-post the same content to every other account you run. Ravenpost publishes through Instagram’s official Content Publishing API — no phone reminders, no browser automation.
See it the way Instagram will
The composer previews every destination as that platform renders it — media cropped the way it will crop, the caption truncated where it will truncate. What you see here is the composer’s own preview component, not a mock-up of one.
ravenpostFollowYou make the content. Ravenpost gets it everywhere. One upload goes to every network you post on — a caption for each, a preview of every one. Made for creators, influencers and agencies. Free forever on one account — link in bio.

Scheduling Instagram, specifically
All four formats, not just the feed
Instagram is the most format-rich platform we support: image, carousel, reel and story all publish automatically. The composer warns you when an aspect ratio is wrong for the format you picked, before Instagram silently crops it.
Hashtags in the first comment
Keep the caption clean and put the hashtags in a first comment instead — written in the composer, posted the moment the post is live. It works on feed posts, carousels and reels; Instagram’s API cannot comment on a story.
Insights next to the post
Reach, impressions, likes, comments and saves are collected per post and shown on the post’s own page, so you can see which caption earned them rather than reading a separate dashboard.
What Instagram allows
Straight from the app’s platform registry — the same limits the composer enforces.
- Caption limit
- 2,200 characters
- Images per post
- 10
- Videos per post
- 10
- Text-only posts
- No

- Analytics
- Yes
- Delete from Ravenpost
- Platform has no delete API
Worth knowing first
Instagram’s API exposes no delete endpoint, so a post published through any tool — ours included — can only be removed by hand in the app. Personal accounts aren’t supported either: Instagram’s publishing API requires a Business or Creator account.
Media guidance
Photo, carousel, or reel. Portrait 4:5 (1080 × 1350) fills the most feed space.

Instagram scheduling questions
Can I schedule Instagram reels and stories automatically?
Yes. Reels and stories both publish automatically through Instagram’s official API — you don’t get a notification to finish the post by hand. Stories expire after 24 hours, so the permalink we store for them is short-lived.
Do I need an Instagram Business or Creator account?
Yes. Instagram’s publishing API doesn’t support personal accounts — that’s Instagram’s rule, not ours. Switching is free and takes a minute in the Instagram app.
Can I add music to a scheduled reel?
Not from the catalogue, at the moment. Instagram’s audio API is only reachable through a Facebook-Page connection, and Ravenpost currently connects Instagram directly (Instagram Login), so the music picker doesn’t appear. Audio that is already part of the video file publishes exactly as it is.
How long can an Instagram caption be?
Instagram allows 2,200 characters. If you select X alongside Instagram, the composer limits you to X’s 280 — unless you give Instagram its own caption, which you can do on any post.
