Instagram Scheduling App Queue Reels, Stories and carousels ahead of time
Write the caption on Sunday, let it post on Wednesday at 6pm. Upload-Post schedules Reels, Stories, carousels and single images to as many Instagram accounts as your plan allows, from one calendar you open in the browser.
What you can schedule on Instagram
These are the Instagram post types you can queue up in advance. Everything listed here is what the Instagram integration actually publishes — nothing is planned or coming soon.
Reels
Schedule a Reel from a video file or a public URL. You can set a custom cover, add collaborators, tag users, attach a location and rename the original audio track.
Stories
Use it as an Instagram story scheduler: queue a Story from an image or a short video and it goes out at the time you picked, without you opening the app.
Photo carousels and single images
Schedule multi-image carousels of up to 10 photos, or a single image post. Tagging people on photo posts uses x/y coordinates rather than a username list.
Trial Reels
Queue a Reel that goes to non-followers first, then auto-shares to your followers if it performs. Available for public accounts with 1,000+ followers; collaborators cannot be added.
The full field-by-field reference lives on the Instagram platform page.
How Instagram post scheduling works
Four steps, all inside the dashboard. No plugins, no browser extension, no phone reminder at 7am.
Connect Instagram
Authorize the account once. No Meta developer app, no app review, nothing to install on your phone.
Upload the media
Drop in the video or the photos. The AI Shorts Uploader can draft the caption and hashtags for you if you would rather not write them.
Pick a slot
Choose an exact date and time, or send it to the posting queue and let it take the next free slot.
Check the numbers
The post publishes on its own. Views, likes and comments come back into the analytics view afterwards.
Instagram options you set when you schedule
A scheduled post keeps every Instagram option a manual post has. You set them once, when you queue it.
What does an Instagram scheduler cost here?
Nothing to start. The Free plan is free forever with no credit card: 10 scheduled posts a month, 2 profiles, scheduling, analytics and 30 minutes of FFmpeg video processing. Basic is $24/month ($16/month billed annually) for unlimited posts and 5 profiles.
Stop posting Reels at midnight
Connect an Instagram account, queue a week of Reels and Stories, and get your evenings back. The free plan is a real plan, not a trial.
Instagram scheduling FAQ
The questions people actually ask before they connect an account.
Can I schedule Instagram Stories, not just Reels?
Yes. Stories are a supported format, from an image or a short video, and they publish on their own at the time you set. That is the part most Instagram scheduling apps push to a phone notification instead of posting for you.
Is the Instagram scheduler free?
Yes, within the Free plan limits: 10 posts a month across every connected network, 2 profiles, no credit card, free forever. If you need more than 10 scheduled Instagram posts a month, Basic is $24/month, or $16/month billed annually, with no monthly posting cap.
Can I schedule to several Instagram accounts at once?
Yes. Each profile holds one account per platform, so a plan with 5 profiles lets you connect 5 Instagram accounts and schedule to them from the same calendar. Free gives you 2 profiles, Basic 5, Professional 25, Advanced 75 and Business 225.
Do I need a Meta developer app or app review?
No. Upload-Post runs an approved Instagram integration, so you authorize your account once in the dashboard and start queueing posts. There is no Facebook developer app to create and no app review to pass.
