How to Tag an Image on Instagram

Ready Social enables you to tag public profiles on images while scheduling your Instagram posts via Direct Publishing. Read on to find out how you can tag users to your image.

1. Start by creating your post on Ready Social. Click on Posts > Create Post
2. You can add your content and image from the Original Draft tab. Upload images from your computer, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box, or use stock images available in the Ready Social scheduler.  Navigate to the Instagram tab to tag your image.

3. From the Instagram Tab, you will be able to see the ‘Tag Profiles' button on your uploaded image. Click on the button to open the Tag pop-up. 

   

   📋 Note: Instagram Image tagging is available for all the images (up to 10) for posts sent via Direct Publishing. Tags are not supported for mobile reminders.

4. From the pop-up, you can click anywhere on the image to tag the profile to that point.

5. Type in the handle of the account you wish to tag, for example, @Ready Social_co. This will result in the profile being tagged at that spot on your Instagram post.

   You can click the "Verify Account" button to confirm that the handle you wish to tag is correct. This will redirect you to that profile’s page on Instagram.

   ❗ Due to Instagram API restrictions, you cannot tag private profiles.

6. You can tag up to 20 public profiles on your image. This includes business profiles, creator profiles, or public profiles.

7. You can move the tag around on the image if needed by dragging it to the correct spot. To remove a tag, click on the x button next to it. Once you are done tagging Instagram users to your image, click on Save.

8. You will see the total number of profiles tagged in your uploaded image. You can click on it again to change your tags as needed. The Post Preview will show you the placement of your tags on your image. 

   

9. Schedule your post by choosing any of your scheduling options, like Add to Queue, Share Now, Share Next, etc.
