# Instagram Scheduler

> Schedule Instagram feed posts, carousels, Reels and Stories from one calendar. See what Instagram's API allows and how Repping.AI publishes.

Repping.AI can schedule Instagram feed posts, carousels, Reels and Stories for a connected account. Instagram's publishing API works with professional accounts and has no scheduling parameter, so Repping.AI sends the post at your chosen time. Instagram publishing is live, with first comments and collaborators.

- A carousel can hold up to 20 images, videos, or a mix. It counts as one post toward the publishing limit. Source: [Instagram Platform: Content Publishing](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/content-publishing), retrieved 2026-11-03.
- JPEG is the only supported image format. Media must sit on a publicly reachable server when publishing starts. Source: [Instagram Platform: Content Publishing](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/content-publishing), retrieved 2026-11-03.
- The guide describes no scheduled-publish option. It tells apps that offer scheduling to enforce the rate limit themselves, which an app can read at GET /<IG_ID>/content_publishing_limit.
