Tweets on Instagram: what each one becomes
Videos become Reels
Video tweets post as Reels, with your tweet as the caption. Instagram takes Reels from 3 seconds to 15 minutes.
Up to 4 photos, one carousel
A tweet with 2 to 4 photos becomes one swipeable carousel.
Your caption comes along
Your tweet becomes the caption, hashtags included. Links show as plain text, because Instagram captions don't link.
New replies stay on X
New replies stay on X, so a thread posts its first tweet only. Quote tweets with a photo or video go too.
A caption made for Instagram
Turn on Rewrite caption with AI to adjust each caption for Instagram; it keeps up to 5 hashtags. Remove @mentions drops X handles that mean nothing on Instagram.
Twitter post to Instagram questions
Can I post X videos as Instagram Reels?
Yes. New video tweets post to Instagram as Reels, with your tweet as the caption.
Can I link my Twitter to my Instagram?
Adding your X profile link to your Instagram bio connects the accounts, but it doesn't copy any posts. To post your tweets on Instagram, connect both accounts to PostOnce.
Can I post a Twitter post to Instagram automatically?
Yes, for tweets with a photo or video. Connect X and Instagram once and new ones post on their own: videos as Reels, photos as posts and carousels.
How do I share an X post to my Instagram Story?
On iPhone, tap Share on a public post and pick Instagram Stories; it appears as a sticker. To send tweets to your Story automatically, turn on Post everything as Stories in PostOnce. Photos and videos then go to your Story instead of your feed, without the caption. Tweets with several photos, and videos over 60 seconds, are skipped.
What happens to text-only tweets?
They stay on X. Instagram only takes posts with a photo or video, so PostOnce sends the tweets that have one.
Do my replies and threads post to Instagram?
New ones don't. New replies stay on X, so a thread posts only its first tweet.
Can I move my old tweets to Instagram?
Yes. Turn on existing posts and PostOnce sends your older photo and video tweets too, on paid plans and the free trial.
Can I post the same photos and videos on X and Instagram?
Yes. PostOnce posts through Instagram's official API, like any scheduler, and uploads the file itself rather than a link. How2Rizz grew to about 10k Instagram followers posting the same videos through PostOnce.
