Instagram profile preview: see your feed before you post
Add your upcoming posts, put them in order and see your profile the way visitors will: the bio, the numbers and the 3:4 grid. Then download the image to show your team or a client.
Updated October 8, 2026
Upload your next posts: they go at the top of the grid. Your username, photo and bio go in “Edit profile”.
Comes out 1080 px wide, as a PNG, with the profile and the whole grid. Instagram shows the grid at 3:4: a 4:5 post loses just its sides, a square one an eighth on each side and a reel an eighth at the top and bottom.
Your images and details never leave your browser: nothing is uploaded or saved.
How to preview your Instagram feed before posting
Upload your next posts
Pick the images you're going to post. If you like, upload the ones already on your profile too and put them below.
Put them in order
The top left is the last one you'll post: Instagram shows the newest first.

Good to know
Look at the grid from afar
In three columns each post looks small: make the subject clear even when the text can't be read.
Mind the crop
The grid crops each post to 3:4. If a post has text near its edges, check it still reads in the thumbnail.
Alternate
A grid reads better when posts with and without text, or light and dark colors, take turns.
Frequently asked questions
What format does Instagram use for the profile grid?
3:4, vertical: the grid stopped being square in 2025. A 4:5 post loses just its sides, a square one an eighth on each side and a reel an eighth at the top and bottom.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The preview and the image you download are made in your browser: nothing is uploaded or saved.
How many characters fit in the bio?
Up to 150, counting spaces and line breaks. The link goes in its own field and doesn't count.
What if I want to see my scheduled posts like this?
In Feedmakers, the Calendar's Feed view shows your profile with what's scheduled on top, in the order it will go out, and what's already live below.
