Plan your Instagram feed before you post.
Lay out your next nine posts on one canvas. Paste image URLs, rearrange until the grid flows, export the preview. Works for Pinterest boards, TikTok covers, and story sequences too.
Built for planning feeds, not just posting them.
See the whole grid at once before you publish. Lay out nine posts side by side, spot the pattern, catch the clash.
Paste image URLs
Copy any image address and press paste — it lands on the canvas at full resolution. No re-uploading the same Pinterest image five times.
Ctrl+VDrag, resize, rotate
Direct manipulation on the canvas. Grab corners to scale, use a handle to rotate freely, layer pieces over each other.
43 canvas presets
Instagram post, Pinterest pin, A4, 16:9 presentation, Twitter header — pick once, or set any custom size up to A2 on Premium.
Premium textures
143 paper, fabric, marble, and wood textures to put under your cutouts. 6 ship free; the full library is bundled with Premium.
Export PNG or PDF
Download your finished board as a full-resolution PNG for screens, or a print-ready PDF for handoff and pitch decks.
Templates & saves
Start from a Premium template or a blank canvas. Premium accounts get unlimited saves and shareable public links.
One canvas, every social feed.
Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok covers, LinkedIn image posts — anything that shows up as a grid or sequence belongs on a planning canvas.
3×3 grid preview
See your next nine posts at once. Check the rhythm, swap in a breather photo, avoid two oranges next to each other.
Pin board layouts
Plan a Pinterest board as a cohesive set. 2:3 canvas, pinned in order, colors intentional.
Product launches
Lay out the pre-launch, launch-day, and post-launch sequence on one page. Approve it with the team before scheduling.
Feed aesthetics
Design a consistent look — pastel, editorial, high-contrast. See the whole feed hold together before anything goes live.
Reel & TikTok covers
Plan 9:16 cover art as a sequence. Keep the series visually consistent without opening Photoshop.
Story sequences
Sketch a seven-frame story arc side by side. Preview pacing before you record.
Content calendars
One month of posts, visualized. Drag-to-rearrange until the calendar tells a story.
Grid puzzles & reveals
Plan a multi-post image reveal across a 3×3 or 6×3 grid. Slice it in PasteCollage, post in order.
Plan a whole feed in an afternoon.
Pick a grid format
Instagram 3×3 square, Pinterest 2:3, TikTok 9:16, or a custom layout. Presets cover every major social platform.
Paste your posts in
Paste image URLs of existing content, drop in new shots, or sketch placeholders. The whole feed on one canvas.
Rearrange, preview, export
Swap tiles until the grid flows. Export a PNG of the preview to share with your team — or save individual post sizes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the grid planner free?
Yes. Planning, rearranging, and exporting feed previews is free and works without an account. Premium adds unlimited saves, shareable public links, and the background remover for cleaning up reference pulls.
How do I plan a 3×3 Instagram grid?
Pick the 3×3 Instagram preset (or build a custom canvas at 3×3 squares). Paste your nine images, drag them into place, swap tiles until the colors and rhythm feel right, and export the preview as a PNG.
Does it auto-post to Instagram?
No — PasteCollage is a planning tool, not a scheduler. Export the layout, save the individual tile images, and post them in order from your phone or a scheduler like Later or Buffer.
Can I plan Pinterest boards here too?
Yes. Use the Pinterest pin preset (2:3) and lay out multi-pin campaigns side by side. Or use a long canvas to preview how a whole board looks at once.
Can I import my existing feed?
Yes — right-click any photo on your Instagram web profile, copy the image URL, and paste it into the canvas. Rebuild your current grid as the starting point, then plan the next nine.
Can I share the plan with my team?
Export a PNG of the preview and drop it in Slack, Notion, or email. Premium accounts also get shareable public links — one URL, always showing the current state of the plan.
Can I use this for TikTok and YouTube thumbnails?
Yes. Build a 9:16 canvas for TikTok or 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails. Lay out a whole series side by side to keep cover art visually consistent.
Plan the feed first. Post second.
