Frequently Asked Questions

How does InstaVibe Simulator work?
You upload photos and the AI analyzes their visual content to generate a realistic Instagram post simulation — including captions, hashtags, comment threads, and engagement metrics.
Does it actually post to Instagram?
No. InstaVibe Simulator is a creative planning tool. It simulates what your post might look like and how it might perform without ever connecting to your Instagram account.
Can I customize the simulation for my account?
Yes. In the Profile Settings panel you can set your username, follower count, audience description, and account privacy to get more tailored and realistic results.
Where is my simulation history stored?
Simulation history is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. Nothing is sent to any external server — your data stays on your device.
Can I load more comments?
Yes. After the initial simulation, click 'Load more comments' to generate additional authentic-sounding comments up to the estimated total comment count.
Do I need an account to use InstaVibe?
No account is required to try it. However, signing in with a Reloadium account lets you use credits for unlimited simulations and access your history across devices.
