Post a photo or a text to several networks at once

Post one photo or a text-only post to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Telegram and more at once. Which networks take what, and the limits.

Updated · 3 min read

Publish everywhere is not only for video. Drop a photo and it goes out as a photo post; add no file at all and it becomes a text post. You write the text once, pick the accounts, and publish now or schedule it. Networks that cannot take that kind of post are greyed out with the reason, so you see before publishing where it will and will not go: YouTube and TikTok, for example, take only video.

Which network takes what

NetworkText onlyPhotoNotes
Facebook (a Page you manage)YesYesText posts need some text
InstagramNoYes, as a feed postInstagram's publishing system takes JPEG photos
LinkedInYesYes
ThreadsYesYesShort character limit
Telegram channelYesYesWith a photo, long text is sent right after it
Bluesky, MastodonYesYesShort character limits
Discord, SlackYesYesThrough the webhook you connected
XYesYesPosting to X is open only to some accounts at the moment
YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, DailymotionNoNoVideo only

The character limit of each network is shown under the text box as you type, and the list Where it goes, next to the preview, says per network whether the post fits.

Before you start

Steps

  1. Open the page. Choose Publish everywhere.
  2. Add a photo, or nothing. Drop a photo or use Choose a file or From my storage; the badge says Photo post. For a text post, skip this; the page says "No file makes it a text post."
  3. Write the text. One text for every network. Press Write with AI if you want a draft: Write the post text and hashtags with AI.
  4. Tick the accounts. Under Post to, tick the accounts. A greyed account shows why, for example "YouTube takes videos only" or "Instagram needs a photo or a video".
  5. Fix any network that is over its limit. If the list shows that the text is too long for a network, press Shorten for this one, or write a separate text for it under Adjust per network: Adjust the post for each network.
  6. Check the preview. Switch between the networks above the preview to see each version.
  7. Now or Schedule. Choose the time and press the publish button. Each network's result appears on the page, with a link to the post.

Frequently asked questions

Can I post only text, with no photo or video?

Yes. Leave the file area empty and write the text. It goes to the networks that accept text posts, such as Facebook Pages, LinkedIn, Threads and Telegram.

Why can I not tick YouTube or TikTok for a photo?

They take videos only. The account stays greyed out with that reason.

Can I post several photos as one album?

Not from this page. It takes one file per post.

Can I schedule a photo post?

Yes. Choose Schedule and set the date and time, for every network that takes the post.

Will the same text work everywhere?

Often, but some networks have short limits. The page shows when a network's limit is passed and lets you write a shorter text just for it.
