Fake Instagram Post Generator
Mock up an Instagram-style feed post — your photo, caption, likes, comment count, carousel dots and location — for presentations, social calendars and client approvals.
Most people preview Instagram posts by imagining them. A mockup shows exactly how a caption wraps under the photo, where hashtags fall, and whether the image works at feed size next to the like and comment icons. This generator gives you the full post frame — profile ring, Follow button, square, portrait or landscape image, action row, likes line, caption and “View all comments” — so social teams can get sign-off on the real thing.

Tips for a more convincing Instagram Post mockup
- 4:5 portrait images take up the most feed space — use them for hero shots.
- Front-load the caption: only the first line or two show before “more” in the real feed.
- Keep hashtags to the end of the caption or the first comment for a cleaner look.
- Likes much higher than followers would allow looks fake; keep numbers proportionate.
- Use the dark-mode version for presentations with dark slides.
Use it responsibly. Mockups are for entertainment, education, design and storytelling. Don’t present them as real conversations, don’t impersonate real people, and never use them as evidence or to deceive anyone. Read our acceptable use policy.
