Photos and graphics are an essential asset of content marketing. Visual content is an eye catcher. Images are irresistible for the reader to look at your social media posts. Images do not only amplify text messages, they also communicate on their own. They attract more attention, can evoke emotions and trigger associations.

Sharing more than one image in a post improves the visibility of your content. You can create image series, show sequences, and level up your storytelling.

With Blog2Social you can easily share multiple images in one post (image post) on the following social media networks:

  • Facebook Pages - Up to 4 images
  • X (Twitter) - Up to 4 images
  • Instagram Business - Up to 10 images
  • LinkedIn - Up to 4 images
  • TikTok - Up to 10 images

 

To do this, you have two options:
1) selecting a WordPress post that was already published on your website
2) creating a new image post

Please click on "Social Media Posts" in your Blog2Social menu. Now you can choose your preferred WordPress post and click on "Share on Social Media" or click on "Share New Image Post" -> "Customize & Schedule" to create a new social media post.

Please note: To share your post with multiple images on Facebook, X and LinkedIn please change the post format from "Link Post" to "Image Post" first.

If your WordPress post or page already contains an image, it will be shown as the first image of your gallery. If you like to change it, you can click on “Change image” and select another image from your post gallery or select or upload another image from your media gallery.
