Instagram Post Generator: complete usage guide
Create Instagram-style post mockups with image upload, engagement counters, brand theme controls, and export-ready canvas output.
What this tool does
It renders a social post layout on canvas using uploaded media or a demo source with configurable profile and caption fields.
It lets you tune likes, comments, theme, and accent colors to match campaign or product storytelling context.
It wraps caption text into readable lines while preserving visual balance in a fixed post frame.
It exports final compositions as PNG and provides a concise output summary for team review and handoff.

Quality checklist before sharing output
- Confirm Instagram Post Generator output matches the constraints or style rules you intended to apply.
- Check that generated values are plausible for the real workflow, not just the demo case.
- Verify repeated runs behave as expected when randomness or presets are involved.
- Remove any real account names, IDs, or internal references before sharing generated output.
