A 9-tile grid
Pasting 9 image URLs fills a complete 3x3 grid — the classic Instagram planning unit — so you can check color balance and alternating post types before any of the 9 goes live.
Instagram feed / grid planner
Paste public image URLs, one per line, to lay them out in the same 3-column grid an Instagram profile uses, then drag tiles to reorder them until the visual rhythm looks right before you schedule anything. HONEST SIMPLIFICATION: this tool works from pasted image URLs rather than a file upload, since a free browser tool has no server-side storage to upload into — paste a link from your own CDN, Google Drive/Photos share, or similar.

How to use the Instagram feed / grid planner
- Gather your image URLs. Get a public link for each image — your own CDN, a cloud photo share link, or similar — one link per post.
- Paste the URLs, one per line. Paste the list into the text box; the grid updates immediately below it.
- Review the 3-column layout. Tiles fill left to right, top to bottom, the same order an Instagram profile grid reads in.
- Drag tiles to reorder. Drag a tile to a new position to see how swapping two posts changes the overall visual rhythm.
- Note the order for scheduling. Once the layout looks right, use that order when you actually schedule the posts in SkedCast.
Worked examples
Fixing a clash by dragging
Two similarly-colored photos landing side by side in positions 4 and 5 can be separated by dragging one of them to swap with a tile further down the grid.
Instagram feed / grid planner FAQ
- Can I upload image files directly instead of pasting URLs?
- No, this free browser tool has no server-side storage, so it works from public image URLs you paste in rather than a file upload — an honest simplification of a real upload flow.
- How many images can the grid hold?
- Up to 30 tiles, enough for a 10-row grid at 3 columns; a longer pasted list is trimmed to the first 30 valid URLs.
- Can I reorder the images after pasting them?
- Yes, drag any tile to a new position in the grid to preview a different post order.
- Does this tool store or upload my images?
- No, the tool only reads the URLs you paste and displays those existing public images; nothing is uploaded to SkedCast.
- Does this schedule the posts for me?
- No, this is a visual planning preview only; schedule the actual posts separately once you are happy with the order.
- Why does a pasted line sometimes not appear as a tile?
- A line is skipped if it is blank, is not a valid http or https URL, or duplicates a URL already in the list.
- Is there a free app to plan my Instagram feed?
- Yes — this Instagram (IG) feed planner app is free, runs entirely in the browser, and needs no account, so it works as a quick app for planning your Instagram feed before you schedule anything.
- Does this work as a desktop Instagram feed planner?
- Yes — it runs in any desktop browser as an online Instagram grid planner with no install, so a desktop Instagram planner and a free desktop Instagram feed planner are the same tool here.
- Can I use this for editorial planning, not just the visual grid?
- The grid itself is visual-only, but the order you settle on maps directly onto an editorial plan for Instagram — schedule the same sequence of posts once you are happy with the layout.
