Getting Started
Connect Your Account
- Go to Instagram
- Click Connect Instagram
- Authorise FLUF in the Instagram login screen
- You'll be redirected back with a green Connected badge showing your Instagram username
Requirements: You need an Instagram Business or Creator account. Personal accounts are not supported by Instagram's API.
Building a Carousel
You can add images from two sources:
From Your Listings
- Search for products using the search bar on the left — results appear as you type
- Each result shows the product title and all its images
- Click any image to add it to your post (1 to 10 images per post)
From Your Device
- On the web: Drag and drop images onto the carousel area, or click the upload icon to browse files
- On the app: Tap Upload from Device to pick images from your camera roll (you can select multiple at once)
- Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP (max 8MB per image)
You can mix both — add product photos and your own custom images in the same carousel.
Managing Your Carousel
On the web:
- Preview — Click any thumbnail to preview it full-size
- Navigate — Use the left/right arrows or dot indicators to browse
- Remove — Hover over a thumbnail and click the red X
- Resize — Drag the handle between the carousel and caption area to adjust the split
On the app:
- Reorder — Use the left/right arrows below each thumbnail to change the order
- Remove — Tap the red X on any thumbnail
- Images appear in a horizontal filmstrip you can scroll through
AI Caption Generation
FLUF can write your Instagram captions for you using AI that actually looks at your images.
- Choose a tone from the dropdown:
- Engaging — Upbeat, community-focused
- Professional — Clean, brand-appropriate
- Casual — Relaxed, conversational
- Funny — Light-hearted, witty
- Minimal — Short, to the point
- Optionally add extra instructions (e.g. "mention free shipping" or "include a call to action")
- Click Generate
The AI analyses your carousel images and writes a caption that describes what's actually in the photos, with relevant hashtags included.
You can always edit the generated caption before posting.
