Instagram Grid Planner with Drag and Drop Preview
This Instagram grid planner with drag and drop preview is free and needs no account. Upload your next images, then drag tiles around until the order looks right.
Drop one tile on another to swap them, change the number of rows up to 12, and undo a clear if you change your mind.
The grid planner is free. The scheduler has a 7-day free trial on your first plan. Card required. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
Why Drag and Drop Helps
You usually know what to post. The hard part is the order, and dragging makes trying orders fast.
Swap by Dragging
Swap two tiles to split up similar photos or balance the light and colour in a row.
3 to 12 Rows
Preview up to 12 rows (36 posts) for a product launch, a themed week or a slow colour change.
Your Next Post Goes Top Left
Instagram adds each new post at the top left of your grid and pushes the rest along. Put your next post in the top-left tile of the planner to answer:“If I post this next, what will my profile look like?”
Grid Planning Ideas
Pick the Top-Left Post
The top-left tile is the first thing visitors see. Try a few candidates there and see how the first row changes.
One Idea per Row
Plan each row as a set of 3, such as problem, solution, proof, so a visitor can read a row and see what you offer.
Spread Out Heavy Tiles
Keep high-contrast tiles and close-up faces apart so one corner doesn't look crowded.
| Feature | What It Does | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Drag to reorder | Swaps two tiles | Try several orders quickly |
| Rows | 3 to 12 rows | Plan up to 36 posts ahead |
| Clear and undo | Empties the grid, with an undo | Start over without losing work by accident |
Then Schedule the Posts
The planner only plans. To have the posts published in that order, use PostQuickAI's scheduler, which posts them at the times you set.
