Square or portrait
Pick the crop before you write the prompt
The ratio changes the composition, not just the frame. Deciding first means you can ask for the right amount of space in the right place — rather than cropping something afterwards and losing half the subject.
Portrait
4:5Holds the screen longer.
- The tallest crop the feed allows, so it fills more of the phone
- Centre-crops to a square in the profile grid — keep the subject central
- Better for a single strong subject than for wide scenes
Keeping a grid together
Change the subject, keep everything else
A feed reads as one brand when the palette, the light and the framing stay constant and only the subject moves. Write those four things once, then reuse that half of the prompt on every post.
- Palette
- muted sand, bone and deep olive palette
- Light
- soft window light from the left
- Surface
- pale linen and matte ceramic surfaces
- Framing
- centred subject with generous margins
Three posts, one visual language
- 01
a stack of folded linen napkins
+ muted sand, bone and deep olive palette, soft window light from the left, pale linen and matte ceramic surfaces, centred subject with generous margins
- 02
a single ceramic mug beside a sprig of rosemary
+ muted sand, bone and deep olive palette, soft window light from the left, pale linen and matte ceramic surfaces, centred subject with generous margins
- 03
an open notebook with a fountain pen resting on it
+ muted sand, bone and deep olive palette, soft window light from the left, pale linen and matte ceramic surfaces, centred subject with generous margins
Where it helps
For shops, creators and small teams
Anyone who has to keep a feed moving without a photographer on call uses the same generator for launches, quotes and everyday posts.
Product launches
A clean hero shot for the day a product goes live, without booking a photographer for it.
Campaign sets
Run one idea at 1:1 and 4:5 so the same concept works in the grid and in the feed.
Quote and text posts
Generate a textured backdrop with space kept clear, then set the words yourself.
Small business posts
Keep a feed active with images that match your products rather than generic stock.
Creator and personal brand
Backgrounds and scene-setting images for a recognisable personal feed.
Client concepts
Show a client three visual directions for a campaign before any shoot is booked.
Prompt guide
An Instagram prompt formula
Subject and setting, then the light, then the palette, then where the space should be left. That last part is what makes a post easy to add words to.
Product launch
1:1An unbranded frosted glass serum bottle standing on a wet stone slab, single softbox from the upper left with deep shadow falloff, premium product photography in a muted sage and bone palette, clear space across the top third for a headline, square social post, no text, no logos, no watermark
Promotion
4:5A bold graphic composition of stacked colour blocks in tangerine, cream and deep navy with one pair of sunglasses resting off-centre, high-contrast promotional post, flat even lighting, large clear band across the middle for a short offer line, vertical social post, no text, no watermark
Educational post
1:1A clean overhead arrangement of three coffee brewing tools spaced evenly on a pale grey surface, ordered diagrammatic composition with equal margins, soft even daylight, restrained palette, room along the bottom for a short caption, square social post, no text, no watermark
Event announcement
4:5A rooftop gathering at golden hour with string lights and blurred figures in the background, atmospheric sense of occasion, warm amber and dusk blue palette, lower third kept clear and uncluttered for date and venue details, vertical social post, no text, no watermark
How it works
From an idea to a post you can upload
- 01
Describe the post
Say what should be in the picture and what the post is for. Naming the subject, the setting and the light gives a far better first result than adjectives alone.
- 02
Pick the format and look
Choose 1:1 for the grid or 4:5 for more height in the feed, then set a content type and a visual style so the composition suits the job.
- 03
Generate, then add your words
Generate the image, download it, and add your caption or on-image text in whatever tool you already use. Asking for clear space in the prompt gives the text somewhere clean to sit.
FAQ
Questions about Instagram posts
What is an AI Instagram post generator?
It turns a written description into an image sized for the Instagram feed. You describe the scene, choose what the post is for and how it should look, pick 1:1 or 4:5, and the image is generated to match — which is faster than sourcing a photo that only half fits.
Can it post to Instagram for me?
No. This generates and downloads images; it does not connect to your Instagram account and cannot publish, schedule or post anything. Once you have the image, upload it through Instagram as you normally would.
Should I use 1:1 or 4:5?
4:5 takes up more vertical space in the feed, so it tends to hold attention longer. 1:1 is safer if the image also needs to look right as a square thumbnail in your profile grid. Both are supported here, and you can run the same prompt at each ratio to compare.
Can it add my caption or headline text to the image?
You can ask for text in the prompt, but AI image models still make mistakes with lettering, especially longer phrases. The more reliable approach is to ask for clear space where the text should go, then set the type yourself afterwards in any design tool — that way you control the font and the spelling.
How do I keep a feed looking consistent?
Reuse the same wording for the things that should not change — the palette, the lighting, the level of detail and the style — and vary only the subject. Keeping that description identical across posts is what makes a grid read as one brand rather than a collection of unrelated images.
Do I need an account or credits?
You can browse this page and open the generator without signing in, but generating an image requires an account and spends credits. The cost depends on the model and settings, and the generator shows the price before you run it. New accounts start with free credits.
Can I use these images for my business?
Under the imageat terms of service you own the images you generate and imageat does not claim ownership of them. Commercial use still depends on your plan and on the terms, and AI output is not cleared for trademarks or likenesses, so review the terms of service for your specific case.
How is this different from the story generator?
Both open the same image generator, but they are shaped for different placements. This page is built around feed ratios — 1:1 and 4:5 — where the image sits in a grid alongside a caption. The story generator is built for full-screen 9:16, where the interface covers the top and bottom of the frame.
imageat generates and downloads images; it does not connect to Instagram and cannot post or schedule for you. Rights and permitted use are governed by the imageat terms of service.
Make the post you had in mind
Describe the scene, choose the crop, and generate until the composition leaves room for whatever you need to say.
