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

Is it safe to use SocialGrow, or will Instagram flag my account? expand_more

SocialGrow connects through Meta authorization and uses official Instagram APIs. It does not ask for your Instagram password or scrape your account. No provider can guarantee that an account will never be restricted: use supported triggers, send relevant replies to people who interacted, and follow Meta's current messaging rules and limits. You can disconnect the app at any time.

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.
