Helpful tips
Export images as JPEG
Instagram's publishing guide supports JPEG as the only image format. Convert PNG or WebP files before you upload.
Put the hook in the first line
The caption is cut off after the first lines in the feed. Write the point first and finish the details after it.
Check the first post
Publish one Instagram post and check it on your profile before you queue a month.
