A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before you
make it yours.
How does the desktop Instagram post mockup look?
Desktop uses Instagram’s opened-post layout: a large photo on the left and a separate caption, comments and engagement panel on the right. Mobile uses the stacked feed card. Both layouts support light and dark mode, free image downloads and animation previews. Instagram’s interface can vary between accounts and updates.
Can I animate an Instagram post mockup?
Yes. Turn on Animation to scroll your post into view, spin it into place, or type out its caption. Preview every style for free. Pro downloads a silent 30 fps MP4 in portrait, square or wide format, at 720p or 1080p.
Can I save a project or use content from an AI assistant?
Yes. Save project downloads an editable file with your settings, text and uploaded images. Open project restores it in the same tool, or lets you paste project JSON from an assistant. Review it before replacing your draft. Files are processed in your browser, not uploaded to your account.
Can I use the downloaded images commercially?
Yes. Images exported from these social and app mockup tools can be used in personal projects, social posts, presentations and client work without a Mockaps subscription or attribution. You still need permission for content you add. Platform names and logos belong to their owners; a mockup does not imply their endorsement.
What can I customize?
Change the username, profile photo, story ring, verified badge, location, caption, timestamp and photo crop. Set likes and comments, show a liked or saved post, and switch between a mobile feed card and an opened desktop post or light and dark mode.
Is the Instagram post mockup generator free?
Yes. All current editing features and PNG or JPG downloads at 1×, 2× and 3× are free. No account, subscription or watermark. The download controls show the exact pixel dimensions for your design. Very large designs may need a smaller size to fit your browser’s image limits.
Where is my draft saved?
Your latest Instagram draft and resized images are saved in this browser on this device, separately from your Facebook draft. They are not uploaded to your account. Clearing site data or using another browser will remove or separate your draft.
Does this publish anything to Instagram?
No. This tool creates a visual mockup for planning, presentations and client reviews. It does not connect to Instagram or publish a post.
Will my post look exactly the same on Instagram?
This preview recreates Instagram’s mobile feed card and opened desktop post. Instagram can vary layouts, text wrapping and image crops by device, placement and interface update. Check your final post in Instagram before publishing.
Can I make carousel posts, Stories or Reels?
This tool currently previews a single photo feed post. Carousel posts, Stories and Reels use different layouts and are not included in this version.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Upload PNG, JPG or WebP images up to 8 MB. Images are resized locally to keep editing and browser saves fast. You can reposition and zoom your image, with square, portrait, tall portrait and landscape crops.
Can I customize one of the examples?
Yes. Choose Use this example below the editor to load its photo, caption, profile, crop, likes and comment settings. Loading asks before replacing your local Instagram draft, and you can restore the previous draft until you reload the page. Your other tools’ drafts stay separate.
