Fake Instagram Post Generator

How to Create a Fake Instagram Post

1. Enter a username and display name — type any Instagram handle you want to appear on the post
2. Upload images — add a profile picture and a post image (or use the defaults)
3. Write a caption — add your post text with hashtags, mentions, and emojis
4. Set engagement numbers — customize likes, add a "Liked by" username, and toggle the liked/saved state
5. Add comments — add up to 5 visible comments with custom usernames and text
6. Adjust details — location, timestamp, verified badge, story ring, follow button
7. Pick a theme — choose light or dark mode
8. Download — export as a high-quality PNG image

Use the quick-start presets at the top to fill in a realistic template instantly — then customize from there.
