It lands on YouTube as a Short

Your Reel uploads to YouTube with an AI-drafted title and description you can edit before it goes live.

Why it works

Don't let one platform's algorithm decide your reach

One Reel, two platforms

Stop exporting, re-uploading, and re-writing captions by hand. Post once on Instagram and the same content reaches your YouTube audience too.

AI-drafted titles & descriptions

Every upload comes with a suggested title and description based on the Reel itself — edit them or publish as-is.

Backfill your older Reels

Cross-posting isn't limited to new content. Send any past Reel to YouTube whenever you decide it belongs there.

Quota-aware, never silently dropped

If YouTube's upload quota is hit, SocialGrow queues and retries instead of losing the upload — with full status history.

Frequently asked questions

How do I post Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts automatically? expand_more

Connect your YouTube channel to SocialGrow once, and every new Reel you publish is automatically uploaded to YouTube as a Short. Titles and descriptions are drafted for you and can be edited before they go live, so you don't have to write copy twice.

Can I cross-post Reels I already posted before connecting? expand_more

Yes. Alongside automatic cross-posting for new Reels, SocialGrow supports manual cross-posting for older Reels — you choose which ones belong on YouTube and send them across whenever you decide.

What happens if a YouTube upload fails or hits a quota limit? expand_more

Uploads are quota-aware and queue rather than fail outright — if YouTube's daily quota is reached, the upload waits and retries instead of erroring out. Every upload has a status you can check in your publishing history, with error detail if something did go wrong.

Does cross-posting to YouTube affect my Instagram account? expand_more

No. Cross-posting only reads your published Reel and uploads a copy to YouTube through YouTube's own official API — it doesn't touch your Instagram account, permissions, or posting behavior there.
