Creating images to post on Instagram from my computer

[May 2023] I used Inxtify for several months and liked it (described below) and then found Hootsuite and used that for a few years. Now I use the Facebook Meta Business Suite planner to create and schedule Facebook and Instagram posts from my computer.

If I’m creating something on the fly, Instagram also has a Create button that I can use to create a post from my computer and upload a custom image I’ve created (rather than uploading a photo from my phone as most people do).

Original post about Inxtify…

I love to put text and images together to make inspirational images and post them on Facebook. Recently, to try out another social media venue, I created an Instagram account. The problem is that I don't upload photos from my phone and that's what Instagram is designed for. Fortunately, I found a freeware program called Inxtify that works on my Mac. I'm able to create images in Photoshop, drag them to the Inxtify loader window, and either publish immediately or schedule. For scheduled posts, I'll need to have my computer on at the time I've scheduled for this to work. The program is easy-to-use and does just what I need it to do.
