Free Instagram tools

SwipeAtelier is first a seamless Instagram carousel maker, but preparing a post often takes more than a carousel. These free Instagram tools cover the rest: check the safe zones of a Reel or a story, design a series of stories, create matching highlight covers, pick a Reel cover, preview your profile grid, resize photos for every format, add your logo to a batch of photos, format a caption with its line breaks, and turn a text into carousel slides.

Each tool opens directly from its card below, in the same app as the carousel editor. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. Pick a tool, open your photos or your text, and export the result as images, saved to Photos on mobile or as a ZIP on a computer.

• Story makerDesign a series of stories that belong together, with the hidden areas in view so your text stays readable. No account, no watermark.
• Safe zone checkerOpen an image or a video and see which parts the app interface covers on a Reel, a Story or a TikTok. Nothing is uploaded.
• Highlight coversCreate a whole set of highlight covers in one shared style, preview them as profile circles and export them as PNG.
• Reel coverChoose the exact frame of your video, add a readable title and check how the cover will look in your profile grid.
• Grid plannerSee your next posts as they will appear on your profile, reorder them with a finger, and keep the plan on your device.
• Multi-size resizerTurn one or several photos into every format you need in a single export, without cutting off what matters.
• Bulk watermarkPut the same logo or text in the same place on a whole series of photos, preview each one, and export them in one go.
• Caption formatterWrite your caption, keep the blank lines you typed, check the length and see what shows before the more link.
• Text to slidesPaste your text and get a ready-to-post carousel, one slide per paragraph, with a cover, numbering and your handle.

Tools for stories and Reels

Stories, Reels and TikTok videos play full screen in 9:16, with buttons and text from the app on top. Check the Instagram Reels safe zone on an image or video to see what gets hidden. The Instagram story maker designs a series of 1 to 20 stories that follow on from one another, the Instagram highlight covers maker creates a matching set of covers with icons or emoji, and the Reel cover maker picks the exact frame of your video and exports the 9:16 cover with its 3:4 version.

Tools for the feed and the profile grid

The Instagram grid planner shows your next posts as on your profile, in 3:4 thumbnails you can reorder by drag and drop. To resize photos for Instagram, tick the formats you need and get every size at once. To sign a whole series, add a watermark to photos in bulk, with your logo or a text in the same place on every photo. For posts with several photos, the editor also works as a panorama splitter and as a photo collage maker.

Tools for text and captions

The Instagram caption formatter keeps the line breaks you type, counts characters against the 2,200 limit and previews the cut before "more". To build a carousel from words rather than photos, turn text into an Instagram carousel: one slide per paragraph, with a ready-made theme.
