Post your Pinterest Pins to Instagram automatically
Pinterest can pull your Instagram posts in, but to post your own Pins on Instagram you'd download each one and upload it again. PostOnce posts each new Pin to your Instagram feed instead: image pins as photos, multi-image pins as carousels and video pins as Reels.

Pins on Instagram: posts, carousels and Reels
Multi-image pins become carousels
Multi-image pins post as Instagram carousels with every image, up to the 5 a pin holds.
Video pins become Reels
Video pins post as Instagram Reels.
Your description is the caption
The pin's description becomes the caption, or its title when there's no description.
Short pins as Stories
With Stories on, one-image pins and video pins of 60 seconds or less appear in your Story rather than the grid; multi-image pins and longer videos are skipped.
Pinterest to Instagram questions
Can I post from Pinterest to Instagram?
Yes, your own Pins. PostOnce posts each new Pin to Instagram through Instagram's official posting API: image pins as photos, multi-image pins as carousels and video pins as Reels.
Are Instagram and Pinterest connected?
Pinterest can import your Instagram posts once you link the accounts. That goes the other way: to post your Pins on Instagram, PostOnce does it for you.
Can I use Pinterest pictures on Instagram?
Only your own. Saving a Pin doesn't give you the rights to someone else's photo, so post Pins you made.
Does a personal Instagram account work?
No. Meta only lets tools publish to professional accounts, Business or Creator. Converting takes a minute in Instagram's settings and costs nothing.
Can I share a Pin to my Instagram Story automatically?
Yes. Turn on the Stories option and every pin with one image, or a video of a minute or less, goes to your Story. Other pins are skipped while Stories is on.
Can I move my old pins to Instagram?
Yes. The existing-posts option sends pins you made earlier, on paid plans and in the trial.
Does it matter to Instagram that a post started on Pinterest?
Not by itself. Instagram gets an ordinary post through its official posting API, the same way schedulers post. How2Rizz reached around 10k Instagram followers with posts sent by PostOnce. A brand-new or dormant account starts slow regardless, so give it some normal activity first.
