  • Automatically share content to Instagram & Mastodon with Jetpack Social

    Dedicating time to publish content on all your social media platforms can be tedious and time-consuming. That’s why Jetpack has been working hard to create robust tools to help you automatically share more content across more platforms, with less effort. Now you can connect your Instagram Business & Mastodon accounts to Jetpack Social, and your content will be shared the moment you hit publish.

    Jetpack Social now allows you to auto-share your WordPress content to Instagram, Mastodon, Facebook,
    LinkedIn, and Tumblr!

    Instantly share to Instagram

    Instagram has a greater reach than any other social media platform and it is now available within Jetpack Social. Engage your target audience by sharing your post featured image to your Instagram Business account, directly from the WordPress editor. Learn how to connect Jetpack to Instagram.

    We’re also working on adding automatic video sharing capability, which will allow you to share the videos you’ve uploaded to your WordPress site, directly to Instagram Video Reels. That premium feature is coming soon to Jetpack Social Advanced.

    Multiply your reach with Mastodon

    Now you can also extend your influence to the newly popular social platform, Mastodon. Similar to Twitter, Mastodon allows you to share media and text content. Learn how to connect Jetpack to Mastodon.

    Mastodon is part of a larger ecosystem known as the “Fediverse.” This interconnected network allows users on Mastodon to interact with users on other compatible platforms, such as PixelFed (for image sharing). This allows you to connect with a broader audience.

    Flexibility with every post

    • Select where you share with every post: Easily toggle which social media networks you want your content to automatically go to, with every WordPress post. Got some photos that you want to share on Instagram, but not LinkedIn? No problem.
    • Preview before you publish: We’ve improved the social preview tool, which allows you to see how your post will appear on all the social platforms you’re connected to, without ever leaving the WordPress editor.
    • Control your message: If you have long-form content, you can easily overwrite the default message and create your own custom messages to be shared amongst your social networks, alongside your media. This is also great for social media platforms that restrict character counts.

    Traditionally, creating unique and engaging imagery for social media platforms often required a basic understanding of image editing tools. Adding text to images, changing photo orientation, and tinkering with different visual styles for each social network was tedious and frustrating. But not anymore.

    With Jetpack Social Advanced, you can overlay custom text onto your images and choose from a variety of styles to increase engagement on your social posts. Most importantly, you’ll save time by doing it all within the WordPress editor.

    Choose your image & add custom text

    Jetpack Social Advanced gives you the freedom to create social images with custom text applied to them. This is handy if you often have long blog post titles for SEO purposes, but prefer to use specific calls-to-action with your social media post images.

    Sometimes the featured image of your blog post may not be the best fit to share on social platforms. With the Jetpack Social Image Generator, you can choose to share your featured image, select a different image from your media library, upload a new image, or select “no image” if you just want to create a text-based image for your socials.

    Pick a template to make it your own
