How to post to Instagram from ChatGPT

Use ChatGPT to write captions, pick images, and publish to Instagram with one token.

May 20, 2026

You can post to Instagram from ChatGPT. Plus, Business, or Enterprise plans support Custom GPTs that talk to tinyposter. It takes about a minute to set up.

What you need

  • ChatGPT Plus or above
  • A tinyposter account (free for 3 days)
  • An Instagram account

Step 1: Get your tinyposter token

Sign in. Go to Dashboard → Tokens. Make a new token. Copy it.

Step 2: Connect Instagram

Go to Accounts → Instagram. Sign in. Done.

Step 3: Open the tinyposter Custom GPT

Open our hosted Custom GPT and tell it your token when it asks. That is the whole setup.

You can also build your own Custom GPT and point it at our HTTP API. Full guide at /docs/chatgpt.

Step 4: Post

Try one of these:

  • "Post to my Instagram: a tip about meal prep"
  • "Write a 5-slide Instagram carousel about saving money"
  • "Schedule an Instagram post for tomorrow morning about my new podcast"

ChatGPT writes the caption. ChatGPT picks Instagram. ChatGPT posts.

What about photos and carousels?

Upload images to ChatGPT in the chat. ChatGPT passes them to tinyposter. The post goes to Instagram with the images attached.

Instagram supports single image, carousels up to 10, and Reels (video). Tinyposter validates the aspect ratio before posting and tells ChatGPT to crop or pad if needed.

Can ChatGPT schedule?

Yes. Just say when. "Schedule for Friday at noon" works. ChatGPT calls the schedule endpoint and the post sits on your tinyposter calendar.

Post to more than Instagram

ChatGPT can fan out a post. "Post this to Instagram, Threads, and X." ChatGPT picks the right caption length for each.
