The only 3 hooks I use now
Waiting for the next sync
Titles and descriptions are drafted for you — editable before they publish.
Connect once, cross-post automatically
Connect YouTube
Link your YouTube channel once via Google OAuth. No password sharing, and you can revoke access at any time.
Post a Reel as usual
Publish to Instagram the way you always do — SocialGrow picks up new Reels automatically, no extra step.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
