About this Instagram Posts
Generate Instagram-ready single-frame feed visuals and louder Reel covers that still match your approved carousel colors. Square posts are 1080×1080, portrait feed posts are 1080×1350 (4:5) for taller grid presence, and Reel covers are 1080×1920 (9:16) with a bold center subject that survives Reels-tab and profile crops. Ideal for launch tiles, product stills, campaign heroes, tip-series covers, and vertical Reel frames that need more punch than a sticker-safe Story—without inventing a separate Reel-only tool. Prompt for empty caption space and no baked lettering so you add copy in Instagram. Pair with the Carousel Generator for multi-slide tips, the Story Background Generator for poll/quiz/link follow-ups, Pinterest or LinkedIn when the same still needs a taller pin or professional crop, and the Facebook Ad Image Generator when a winning feed look becomes paid Meta creative.

What size should I generate for Instagram feed posts?
Square feed posts are 1080×1080. Portrait posts are 1080×1350 (4:5) and usually win more grid height. Generate at these sizes or higher and let Instagram compress. Prefer 4:5 when the subject can fill a taller frame; keep square for catalog grids that must align edge-to-edge with older assets.
What size and framing should I use for Reel covers?
Reel covers are 1080×1920 (9:16). Put a bold, clear focal subject in the center—Instagram crops differently on the feed preview, Reels tab, and profile grid. Keep faces and products away from the extreme edges and UI chrome. Do not stretch a square still and hope the sides survive—prompt vertical framing up front and preview at phone width.
Square vs 4:5 vs Reel cover—which should I pick first?
Start with the surface you will publish this week. Feed hero or launch tile → 4:5 (or square if your grid is already square-locked). Reel cover → 9:16 with a larger silhouette. Multi-slide teaching → Carousel Generator first, then return here for matching single stills. Quiet sticker Stories → Story Background Generator, not this tool.
Can I create carousel sequences with this tool?
For multi-slide carousels with a shared visual system, use the AI Instagram Carousel Generator. Use this tool for single feed posts, launch tiles, and louder Reel covers that reuse the same palette. Many teams lock a carousel cover look, then generate matching single frames here for the days between tip decks.
How do I keep feed posts and Reel covers on-brand with carousels?
Freeze the approved carousel cover palette, lighting mood, and subject treatment. Prompt those cues here so single stills and Reel covers read as the same campaign. Reject frames that only work as quiet Story fields—feed and Reels need higher contrast and a larger silhouette.
How do I write prompts for product stills and launch tiles?
Name the product or offer, the aspect ratio, brand colors, and empty caption space: “portrait 4:5 Instagram feed post, [product] hero, approved brand colors, high contrast, clean background, no text.” For launches, add “bold campaign still, clear focal package, empty lower third for captions outside the image.” Keep lettering out of the pixels so you can change dates without regenerating.
Should Instagram Stories use this post tool?
Usually no for sticker-heavy Stories. Poll, quiz, link-chip, highlight, and launch-reminder layouts need calm mid-frame islands—use the Instagram Story Background Generator with the approved carousel palette. Keep this post tool for louder feed stills and Reel covers. Highlight covers also prefer the Story tool’s center-safe circular crop.
Can I use the images commercially on Instagram?
You can usually use generated images for organic social content, but always review the terms of the image generation API and Instagram’s policies. Keep trademarks you do not own out of prompts, and do not present AI stills as documentary photos of people or products you cannot ship.
When should I reuse a winning still as a Meta ad or Pinterest pin?
After a feed or Reel cover earns saves or profile visits, crop or regenerate for the Facebook Ad Image Generator (feed/Story ad safe zones) or the Pinterest Pin Generator (taller pin ratios). Keep the same subject and palette so paid and organic surfaces feel like one campaign—not three unrelated looks.
How do I keep a coherent profile grid?
Reuse one palette family, similar lighting, and consistent subject scale across 4:5 stills. Alternate launch tiles with quieter product frames, but avoid random style jumps. When a tip series needs more than one image, expand into the Carousel Generator instead of posting unrelated singles that break the grid rhythm.

- AI Instagram Carousel Generator
Design Instagram carousel sequences with a bold cover slide and cohesive follow-up frames. Ideal for product tip lists, SKU stories, before/afters, tutorials, and launch campaigns that need more than one image—without rebuilding the visual system from scratch each slide. Plan slide count before you generate: most ecommerce tip decks win with a hook cover plus three to five tips, not a ten-slide dump. Pair with lifestyle or white-background product heroes so brands teach without inventing a fake catalog, then hand quieter 9:16 follow-ups to Stories and louder stills to feed posts, Reel covers, or Meta ads once the deck palette is locked.

Generate Instagram Story backgrounds with quieter mid-frame fields for soft-cta-plus-countdown Stories (a soft CTA line pointing to the tip deck plus calm space for a countdown sticker—bridging soft-CTA-to-first-tip and tip-deck-countdown without baking tip body or fake clocks into the pixels), tip-deck-countdown-day-two Stories (a quieter day-two tip-deck reopen line plus calm space for a countdown sticker—softer than the day-one tip-deck countdown invite), tip-deck-countdown-naming-tip-one Stories (a tip-deck invite line that names tip one plus calm space for a countdown sticker), tip-deck-countdown-plus-link Stories (a tip-deck invite line plus calm space for a countdown sticker and a quieter link-chip corridor that still points to the product tip carousel), tip-deck-countdown-invite Stories (a tip-deck invite line plus calm space for a countdown sticker), soft-CTA-to-first-tip-slide Stories (a gentle invite that names tip slide one / tip one after a tip-deck invite or tip-slide-one preview), tip-slide-one preview Stories after a tip-deck invite (a soft visual tease of tip slide one without baking tip text into pixels), tip-deck-invite Stories after a quiz soft CTA (gentle line pointing to the product tip carousel plus optional link chip), soft-CTA-after-quiz Stories, quiz answer-reveal Stories (correct-answer line plus optional soft tip), stacked calm regions for quiz-plus-link layouts (tall quiz island plus quieter link-chip band), poll-plus-link layouts, taller calm mid-islands for quiz stickers, wide calm islands for poll stickers, narrow calm mid-corridors for link stickers, sticker-safe mid-frames, quieter launch-reminder fields, and Highlight-safe circular crops that reuse your approved carousel palette.
