What these tools do not do

They do not log in to Instagram, publish posts, scrape profiles, verify current crop behavior or promise reach. Visual outputs and plans still need a final review in the current Instagram app.

Instagram tools FAQ

Do these tools connect to my Instagram account?
No. The collection works from local files and values you enter manually. It does not request account access, read a profile, schedule posts or publish content.
Are selected images uploaded?
No. The visual tools decode, compose and export selected JPG, PNG and WebP files inside the current browser.
Are the Reels, Story and grid guides official Instagram boundaries?
No. They are conservative planning previews. Instagram can change crops and interface layouts, so inspect the final asset in the current app.
Do these tools predict reach or engagement?
No. They help prepare visual assets and copy but do not access live trends, audience data or platform recommendation systems.
Can the visual tools publish posts?
No. They download PNG or ZIP files to your device. Uploading, scheduling and publishing happen separately.
Do the content tools use live trends or private analytics?
No. Hooks, timelines, captions and plans are built only from the values you enter. They do not access live trend, reach or account data.
