Opalite for InstagramPost to Instagram from your desktop.
Upload photos, reels, stories, and carousels from your computer. Schedule posts across the week, send DMs from a real keyboard, and generate AI captions. The full Instagram desktop client. No phone required.
Add to Chrome
From an idea to a post in under a minute
Generate the image with the AI you already use. Opalite holds the original prompt next to it. When you open Instagram, the composer is already filled in, caption and all.
The Opalite library sits between them, automatically. You never have to re-upload an image.
Everything an Instagram client should do, plus the parts nobody else does.
Posting and the desktop client are free forever. Scheduling and the AI side are on the Plus plan.
Post anything from desktop
Photos, carousels up to 20 slides, Reels up to 15 minutes, Stories, IGTV. Drag and drop straight from Finder.
Schedule with a real calendar
Plan a week, a month, a launch. Drafts auto-publish at the time you set while your browser is open, and anything missed retries the moment it reconnects.
Captions that know what you made
When the image came from Grok, Gemini, or ChatGPT, the original prompt rides along. Your captions stop sounding generic.
Hashtag assistant
Research, save, and reuse hashtag sets. Tune the popular vs niche mix per profile so reach and relevance both win.
Multi-account switching
Sign into every account once. Switch instantly. Your active handle drives the captions, hashtags, and voice without you thinking about it.
Direct messages, templates, and ghost mode
Reply faster with reusable DM templates. Browse stories without your view appearing in anyone’s list.
Your accounts. Your voices. Your rules.
When you run four Instagram accounts, the AI starts to drift. Same captions. Same emojis. Same rhythm. Per-account profiles fix that. Each handle gets its own tone, length, brand voice, hashtag rules, even its own forbidden topics.
- One profile per accountEvery Instagram handle you sign into gets its own settings: tone, length, brand voice, hashtag rules, emoji policy, custom prompt.
- Auto-detectedWhen the extension sees you switch to @other_handle, the matching profile takes over. No menus, no manual swap.
- Bulk regenerateChange the rules on a profile, hit one button, and every draft for that account gets rewritten in seconds.
- Brand voice with examplesPaste 5 to 50 of your existing captions. The AI learns your phrasing and writes new ones that sound like you, not like ChatGPT.
Captions that know what you made.
Other tools see a JPEG and guess. Opalite reads the brief that made it. When the image came out of Grok, Gemini, ChatGPT, or Sora through one of our suites, the original prompt rides along. Captions reference what you actually generated.
Five built-in tone presets. Brand mode learns from 5 to 50 of your existing captions.
The full Instagram surface, on a real keyboard
DMs, story viewing, follower analytics, hashtag research. Nothing about the desktop experience feels like a phone app squeezed sideways.
DMs with templates
Reply faster with reusable message snippets. Categorize by audience: collabs, customer support, fan replies.
Looks right at any width
Resizes from a side panel to full screen. Same UI works whether the extension is pinned narrow or wide open.
How it compares to what you’re using now
Inssist is the leading paid Instagram desktop client: $19.50 a month per account, or $145 lifetime. Here is where we match them, where we undercut them, and what they don't have.

No password. No API key. No third-party login.
The extension runs inside the Instagram tab you’re already signed into. If you can post in instagram.com, you can post here.
In your session
No OAuth pop-up, no Meta partner status. The actions go through the same web channels Instagram exposes to its own client.
No bot behaviour
No mass-likes, mass-follows, or scraping. Posting, scheduling, and DMs run at human cadence by design.
Captions opt-in
Image data only leaves your machine when you ask for an AI caption, and only the image and prompt are sent to Google Gemini for the call.
Posting is free forever. Plus is a quarter of Inssist.

The questions everyone asks
Is this really free?
Posting is free forever: photos, reels, stories, carousels, multi-account, DMs, hashtag tools, no timer. Scheduling, ghost mode, and the AI caption suite are on the Plus plan at $3.50/month, about a quarter of what Inssist charges for the same features. New accounts start with everything unlocked, and anyone who installed before September 2026 keeps scheduling free forever.
Is this an Inssist alternative?
Yes, deliberately. The free tier matches what Inssist gives away (desktop posting, multi-account). The $3.50/month Plus tier covers what Inssist sells for $19.50/month per account: scheduling, calendar, ghost mode, story extras. And the AI caption engine, which knows the prompt that generated your image, does not exist in Inssist at any price.
Do you ever see my Instagram password?
No. The extension runs inside your existing Instagram browser session. There is no API key, no OAuth pop-up, no third-party login. If you can post in instagram.com, you can post here.
Will Instagram ban my account?
The extension acts the way you would. It never spam-likes, mass-follows, or hits Instagram faster than a human could. Posting, scheduling, and DMs use the same channels Instagram already exposes to its own web app.
What makes the AI captions different from Buffer or Later?
When the image came from Grok, Gemini, or ChatGPT, we keep the original prompt next to it. Your captions can reference what you actually generated, not a generic vibe guess. Other tools see a JPEG; we see the brief that made it.
How many accounts can I run?
Up to 5 Instagram accounts on one Opalite plan. Each gets its own profile so the captions stop drifting between brands.
Which browsers are supported?
Any Chromium browser: Chrome, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi, Edge, Opera. Safari and Firefox are not yet supported.
