Compose

Write it once. See it the way Instagram will show it.

Pick the account, write the caption, drop in photos or a video, choose Post, Reel or Story. The preview beside the editor renders it as Instagram will. Add collaborators and user tags, a location, a first comment that posts right after, a cover frame for a Reel, and whether the Reel also shows in the feed.

Schedule

An Instagram content calendar that fills itself.

Define the time slots your account posts in, for example 12:00 and 19:00 on weekdays. Add to queue puts a post into the next free slot; you can also pick an exact time. The Queue tab is your Instagram planner: the week as a list or a calendar, in your account's time zone, and every post goes out from your desktop with no phone in the loop.

Publish and measure

Published posts report back. Failed ones tell you why.

The Published tab shows every post with its likes and comment counts, refreshed automatically. Anything Instagram rejects, an expired token or a media format it will not take, lands in Failed with the reason, ready to fix and resend.

What you can publish

Everything an Instagram account can post

The composer shows the Instagram options only when an Instagram account is selected, and previews the post the way Instagram renders it.

Photos, carousels, Reels and Stories

Single images, multi-image carousels, Reels with a cover frame and audio name, and Stories. Pick the format per post; the preview switches with it.

Collaborators and user tags

Invite a collaborator so the post appears on both profiles, and tag accounts on the photo, the way you would in the app.

Location and feed placement

Tag a location, and choose whether a Reel also shows in the feed grid or lives in the Reels tab only.

First comment, posted for you

Write the first comment with the post and Juicer posts it right after the post goes live. Keeps hashtags and links out of the caption.

Alt text and comment controls

Alt text on every image travels with the post. Turn comments off on a post that does not need them.

Trial Reels

Publish a Reel as a trial that non-followers see first, and let it graduate to your followers on the strategy you pick.

Beyond Instagram

One post, eight networks, one team

Send the same post to seven other networks with per-network previews and overrides, so the Instagram version can be a Reel with a cover frame while X gets a thread. Group channels the way you post, and give each brand or client its own workspace with its own channels, schedule and queue.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What Instagram accounts ask before scheduling posts with Juicer.

  • Which Instagram accounts can I publish to?
    Instagram professional accounts, Business or Creator. You connect the account from the Channels screen through Meta's login, and it appears as a channel in your workspace. Personal accounts are not publishing targets; Meta does not offer them to third-party tools.
  • Can I publish Reels and Stories?
    Yes. Choose Reel or Story as the format when composing. Reels take a cover frame, an audio name and a choice of whether they also appear in the feed; Stories are media-only, as on Instagram itself. The preview shows the format you picked.
  • Can I publish carousels?
    Yes. Add several images or videos to a Post and Instagram publishes them as a carousel, in the order you arranged them.
  • How does the Instagram content calendar work?
    You define time slots per network, for example 12:00 and 19:00 on weekdays for Instagram. Add to queue puts a post into the next free slot; you can also set an exact time. The Queue tab shows what is coming, as a list or a weekly calendar.
  • Can I post to Instagram from my desktop?
    Yes. The whole workspace runs in the browser: compose, upload media, schedule and publish from a laptop or desktop, with no phone hand-off. The preview shows the post the way the Instagram app will render it.
  • Can my team approve posts before they go out?
    Not in the beta. Drafts live in the shared workspace, so a teammate can open, edit and schedule any post, but there is no formal approval step yet. Approvals are on the roadmap.
  • Can I manage several accounts?
    Yes. A workspace holds one Instagram account; add another workspace for a second account. Agencies keep one workspace per client, each with its own channels, schedule and queue.
  • Is publishing included in my plan?
    Publishing is in beta and rolling out inside every Juicer account, alongside the feed widget. It is not a separate purchase today; if that changes, existing users will hear from us first.
  • Do published posts show up in my feed widget?
    Yes, if your account is a source of that feed: the widget syncs your account on your plan's schedule and picks the new post up like any other. Publishing writes to Instagram; the feed widget reads from it.
