How do I schedule an Instagram post?

Switch your Instagram profile to Business or Creator, connect it to PosteAhora by signing in with Instagram, create the post (photos or video, caption, format) and pick a date and time. PosteAhora publishes it automatically at that moment.

Can I schedule Instagram Stories?

Yes, and they publish automatically, with no reminder to act on. Photo and video Stories go out through Instagram's API at the time you set. Stickers, polls, music and link stickers can't be added through the API, so add those in the app if you need them.

Can I schedule Reels and carousels?

Yes. Reels publish automatically with the cover and share-to-feed setting you choose, and a carousel takes 2 to 10 photos and videos, mixed.

Do I need a Facebook Page?

No. PosteAhora connects with Instagram login, which needs a Business or Creator account but no Facebook Page.

Can I connect a personal Instagram account?

No. Instagram only allows scheduled publishing for professional accounts, Business or Creator. Switching is free in the app's settings.

What sizes and aspect ratios does Instagram accept?

Feed posts and carousels: 1:1, 4:5, 3:4 and 1.91:1, for example 1080 × 1350 for 4:5. Reels and Stories: 9:16, 1080 × 1920. Captions can be up to 2,200 characters; Stories have none.

What is a trial Reel?

A trial Reel is shown first only to people who don't follow you. Afterwards you share it with your followers yourself, or let Instagram do it automatically based on how it performed. Instagram requires a public professional account with at least 1,000 followers.

What happens if a post fails?

You get an email with the reason, and you can retry the post with one click from your posts list.

Can I see Instagram analytics for each post?

Yes: views, reach, likes, comments, saves and shares for every post. The per-post view is on the Scale and Agency plans; Standard and Team include basic analytics.

Can an AI assistant schedule Instagram posts?

Yes. Connect PosteAhora to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client and it can create and schedule posts, carousels, Reels and Stories with the same options as the composer.

How much does it cost?

Plans are a flat monthly price set by how many social accounts you connect, with unlimited posts. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial (a card is required), and your first post is free without one.

Every format, to spec

Feed posts, carousels, Reels and Stories, each drawn at its real size, with what Instagram accepts through its API and what PosteAhora sends.

One photo in any ratio Instagram accepts. A single video posted to the feed goes out as a Reel: that's how Instagram's API publishes feed video.

Media: 1 photo (a single video goes out as a Reel)
Aspect ratio: 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 1.91:1
Caption: Up to 2,200 characters
Publishing: Automatic
Options: Alt text, AI-generated label

Checked against Instagram’s API · updated September 23, 2026

Every Reel option, in the composer

The Reel options Instagram opens to its API are all in the composer.

Pick the cover: any frame of the clip, or your own image
Turn share to feed on or off
Trial Reels: show it to non-followers first
Tag up to 20 people and add the AI-generated label

Checked first, flagged if it fails

The composer checks every post against Instagram's rules before it can be scheduled, and if Instagram refuses one later, you hear about it.

A caption over Instagram's limit can't be scheduled
Too many carousel items, long alt text and incomplete tags are flagged too
A failed post emails you with the reason
One click retries it
