Schedule your first post

Open Compose and work top to bottom:

1. Pick the account

Your connected accounts appear as chips at the top. Click to select one or several — selecting accounts on different platforms cross-posts the same content to each.

2. Add media

Upload photos or one video. Instagram takes up to 10 photos in a carousel. TikTok takes up to 35. Threads and Facebook post the first image only. JPEG is the most reliable photo format across platforms, and video should be vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Threads also works text-only.

3. Title and caption

A title is required for YouTube and TikTok. The caption is optional everywhere — use Quick Captions to reuse ones you save.

4. Platform settings

If you selected TikTok, choose a privacy level (TikTok requires this on every post — the section is open by default). YouTube's category and privacy live in a collapsible section with sensible defaults.

5. When to post

Pick Now, In 1 hour, Tomorrow 9AM, or a custom date and time. Then hit Schedule — your post appears on the Schedule calendar, and sprkly publishes it automatically at the right minute. If a publish fails, we retry automatically and email you if it can't recover.
