Reels Planner

Upload a Cover Photo

In addition to the video planning features mentioned above, with Reels you have the opportunity to select and upload a cover photo that aligns with your grid aesthetic, instead of a still from the video. 

Schedule & Repurpose Content

Plan ahead and schedule a reminder email or push notification to post your Reel when it’s ready! Once you publish your Reel to Instagram, it will save to your phone and you can repurpose your videos for TikTok.

Keep Your Grid Up-to-Date

You also don't have to manually import Reels to your PLANOLY grid. Once your Reel is published, your grid will automatically update so you can continue visually planning your content.
