How to generate an Instagram post
Fill the header
Enter a username, optional location, and turn on the verified badge if you want it.
Add the photo and caption
Upload an image or keep the placeholder, then write the caption and counts.
Export the picture
Download a PNG or copy it for a joke, storyboard, or deck.
Tips for post mockups
- 01
Use a square photo
The frame crops to 1:1, which matches a classic feed post.
- 02
Keep the caption short
One or two lines read more like a real feed screenshot.
- 03
Label it as a mockup
If you publish the image, make it clear the post was composed, not taken from the app.
- 04
Skip the badge unless it fits
A verified mark on a casual username looks less like a real account.
Great for
Jokes and stories
Illustrate a bit with a feed-style frame.
Content drafts
Preview caption length and a photo crop before you post for real.
Decks
Show sample social creative without logging into an account.
Why generate posts here
Local-first
Photos and captions never leave the browser for this tool.
Free
Unlimited mockups with no signup and no watermark.
No account
You do not sign in to Instagram to build the picture.
Sharp PNG
Export at 2× so the caption stays readable.
Technical notes
- Frame
- A 390px-wide feed post: header, 1:1 media, action icons, likes, caption, comments, date.
- Images
- Avatar and photo are read with FileReader as data URLs. No photo uses a gradient block.
- Export
- html-to-image captures the frame as a 2× PNG.
- Privacy
- Client-side only—no network upload.
