Enter a username, upload a post image, write a caption and set the likes, comments and time in this generator. Pick Light or Dark and press Download PNG. The preview shows the finished post as you type.

Is there a free Instagram post mockup generator?

Can the mockup show comments?

The Comments field sets the count shown under the caption, as View all 36 comments, for example. Set it to 0 and the line is left off. The Likes field works the same way, and 0 likes shows Be the first to like this.

Can I add a verified badge to a fake Instagram post?

Yes. Tick Verified badge and the blue check appears next to the username in the post header.

Is the fake Instagram post generator free?

Yes, with a free spyc account. The mockup is drawn in your browser, so the images and text you add are not uploaded anywhere.

How it works

What is the Fake Instagram Post Generator?

The Fake Instagram Post Generator is a free tool that builds a mockup of an Instagram feed post and exports it as a PNG. You set the username, profile photo, verified badge, location, post image, caption, likes, comments and posting time, pick a Light or Dark theme, and download the image at 1×, 2× or 4× size.

How to use the Fake Instagram Post Generator

Fill in Username and Location, upload a Profile photo, and tick Verified badge if the account should have one.
Upload the Post image and write the Caption. Hashtags and @mentions show in Instagram's link colour.
Set Likes and Comments, and type the Posted time, such as 2 hours ago.
Pick a Theme, Light or Dark. The live preview updates as you edit.
Choose an export size of 1×, 2× or 4× and press Download PNG.

How do you make a realistic Instagram post mockup?

Get the small details right. Use a username that follows Instagram's rules, lowercase with periods or underscores, such as one from the Instagram Username Generator, and keep the likes in proportion to the comments: a post with 1,284 likes might have a few dozen comments, not thousands. Write the Posted time the way Instagram does, such as 2 hours ago or 3 days ago. For a caption that reads like a real one, draft it with the Instagram Caption Generator.

The post image keeps its own shape, from tall 3:4 to wide 1.91:1, as it would in the feed. The mockup is drawn in your browser, and nothing you type or upload leaves it. Export at 2× for slides and web pages, and 4× where it will be printed or zoomed.

Is it legal to make a fake Instagram post?

Making a mockup is ordinary design work: pitch decks, ad concepts, client previews, teaching material and app screenshots all use them. What matters is how the image is used.

Use mockups for designs, pitches and planning, and label them as mockups so no one takes them for real posts.

What does the Instagram post mockup include?

The mockup draws a single feed post: the header with profile photo, username, optional verified badge and location, the post image, the like, comment, share and save icons, the likes line, the caption with the username in bold, the comments link and the posted time.

Likes show in full with commas, such as 1,284 likes, as Instagram shows them under a post. The caption is shown in full rather than cut off after two lines, so a long caption makes the image taller. Until you add a post image, a soft colour fills its space, which is handy for a wireframe.

Can you make a fake Instagram profile or carousel?

Not with this tool. It makes one feed post with one image, not a profile page, a Story or a carousel. For a profile-style layout, the Instagram grid maker cuts an image into 3:4 tiles you can lay out as a grid in a design tool.

For a carousel concept, make one mockup per slide image and place them side by side in your slides. Keep the same username, likes and caption on each so they read as one post.

How big is the exported Instagram mockup?

The post is drawn 470 pixels wide, so 1× exports at 470 pixels, 2× at 940 and 4× at 1880, with the height following the image and the caption. The image keeps its own shape between tall 3:4 and wide 1.91:1, the range Instagram shows in the feed, and anything outside that range is cropped to fit.

Use 2× for decks and web pages, and 4× when the image will be printed or zoomed in on.
