Instagram feed post
The exported image includes the selected content and device layout.
Check the appearance of an Instagram post before it goes live. ApiSeller's Instagram Post Preview lets you build a visual mockup with a username, profile photo, caption, and your own image or video. Switch between mobile and desktop layouts to see how your content might be presented in different contexts.
Preview a standard photo post, swipe through a multi-image carousel, examine a vertical Reel, or plan a Story with overlaid text. Media is loaded locally in your browser, so you can experiment without connecting an Instagram account or publishing anything.
Choose Post, Carousel, Reels, or Story. Each uses a layout designed for that format instead of stretching the same template.
Enter a username and caption, upload your media, and customize details such as location, likes, or Story text when applicable.
Compare mobile and desktop previews, switch between light and dark appearance, and download a PNG mockup.
Test how a photo, username, location, engagement details, and caption fit together in an Instagram-style feed card. For a carousel, upload multiple images and use the slide controls to inspect each one in order.
The active carousel slide is shown in the downloaded PNG, making it easy to review a specific frame with your team.
Reels and Stories use a vertical preview with their own overlays and controls. Load a compatible video for in-browser playback or use a still image to mock up your cover or creative.
For video exports, the tool captures the frame currently available from the video element. Video is not converted or uploaded to a server.
| Type | Best For | Preview Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Post | Single-image feed visuals and captions | Square feed card |
| Carousel | Multi-image tutorials, collections, and sequences | Swipeable feed card |
| Reels | Short vertical videos and cover concepts | Vertical player mockup |
| Story | Temporary vertical content and text overlays | Vertical Story viewer |
Important: These are illustrative Instagram-style previews. Instagram may display content differently depending on the app version, screen size, region, or future interface changes.
Check mobile first, then review desktop to catch awkward framing, long usernames, or captions that compete with the image.
For Stories and Reels, place important information away from edges and interface overlays. Previewing is a guide, not an exact safe-zone guarantee.
Use consistent visual pacing in a carousel. Inspect every uploaded slide to confirm the message is clear throughout the sequence.
