# Instagram Scheduler

> Auto-publish Instagram posts, Reels, and carousels on a calendar.

An Instagram scheduler lets you plan and auto-publish Instagram posts, Reels, and carousels ahead of time so your feed stays consistent without you opening the app every day. Repping.AI schedules feed posts, Reels, and multi-image carousels, publishes them automatically, and lets you queue your hashtags as a first comment.

## Features

### Schedule feed posts, Reels, and carousels

Plan single images, multi-image carousels, and Reels, set the slot, and Repping.AI publishes them to Instagram automatically.

### Auto-publish to a Business or Creator account

Connected Business and Creator accounts publish on their own — no push notification telling you to post manually.

### First-comment hashtags

Keep captions clean by scheduling your hashtag block to post as the first comment automatically.

### Visual grid planning

Preview how upcoming posts will look in your feed and rearrange them before anything goes live.

### AI captions and ideas

Generate captions, hooks, and hashtag sets with the built-in AI composer tuned for Instagram.

### Cross-post Reels to other networks

Queue the same short-form video to TikTok and YouTube Shorts alongside your Instagram Reel.
