Fake Instagram post generator that looks like the real feed
Recreate an Instagram feed post in your browser: your photo, your caption, your numbers. Square, portrait or landscape, light or dark mode, carousel dots, a verified badge, and a download as a crisp PNG.
Customize Your Post
Add the photo, write the caption, set up the account, and dial in the numbers.
Without a photo the post shows a blank Instagram placeholder.
#hashtags and @mentions are colored like the real app.
Live Preview
See your Instagram post in real-time.
The caption travels into the studio as the script of a narrated short. Download the PNG to use the screenshot in your own edit.
- Real Instagram layout, icons and typography
- Like count, "Liked by" line, comments and timestamp
- Carousel counter, story ring, Sponsored label
- Light and dark mode, 3x resolution PNG
A fake Instagram post is the fastest way to set up a story. A screenshot of the post that started the drama, the ad everyone is quoting, the caption that did not age well, or a mockup of how a client's feed will look. Posting the real thing means burning a slot on a real account and waiting for the engagement to look right. This free Instagram post generator builds the frame directly in the browser instead. Upload the photo, choose square, portrait or landscape, write the caption with hashtags and mentions colored like the real app, and set every number: likes, comments, the "Liked by mia.k and others" line, or hidden likes. Add a verified badge, a gradient story ring, a location line or a Sponsored label, turn the heart red and fill the bookmark, then download a 3x PNG that holds up full-screen in a Short. Nothing is uploaded to a server: the preview renders on your device and the download comes straight out of it.
Everything you need
Built for creators who want fast, high-quality results.
Pixel-accurate feed post
Header, media, action row, likes, caption, comments line and timestamp are laid out with Instagram's spacing, icon set and font stack in both light and dark mode.
Three photo shapes
Square 1:1, portrait 4:5 and landscape 1.91:1, cropped the way the feed crops them. No photo yet? The post shows Instagram's blank media placeholder.
Every engagement number
Type any like count, switch to the "Liked by ... and others" line, hide likes entirely, and set the "View all comments" count and the posted time.
Carousel and story details
A slide counter and dots for multi-photo posts, a gradient story ring around the avatar, a verified badge, and a location or Sponsored line under the username.
Liked and saved states
Toggle the red filled heart and the filled bookmark so the screenshot reads as a post you already reacted to.
Private, high-resolution export
The PNG renders on your device at three times the on-screen size. Your photo never leaves the browser.
How it works
Four steps. Under a minute.
Upload the photo
Pick the image for the post and choose square, portrait or landscape. Add a profile photo for the account, or keep the initial avatar.
Write the caption
Type the caption with hashtags and mentions. They are colored automatically. Set the username, the location line and the verified badge.
Set the numbers
Enter likes and comments, choose the likes line style, pick the timestamp, and switch on carousel dots, the liked heart or the saved bookmark.
Download the PNG
Export the post at 3x resolution, or send the caption into the studio to narrate the post as a short.
Perfect for
Storytime and drama videos
Open with the post that started it all, then cut to the reaction. The caption and numbers set the stakes before you say a word.
Memes and parody accounts
Put words in a fictional account's feed, with the like count the joke needs.
Client mockups and pitches
Show a brand how a post will look in the feed before it is published, including a Sponsored label and a carousel.
Tutorials and awareness content
Illustrate what a scam post or a bad ad looks like without linking to a real one.
