Choosing Layout of your Feed
The Layout tab features two available feed templates – Slider and Grid.
The choice between these two layouts relies on how you want to display your widget:
- Slider is ideal when you need your Instagram Feed widget to be one of the elements on your webpage (for example, when it is placed above the footer or within a social section).
- Grid is more suitable if you want to dedicate an entire page to your Instagram Feed and have it occupy the entire space.

Columns and Rows
In this section, you can set your widget's dimensions, both for mobile and desktop devices:
While Auto Mode is suitable for most cases, if you require a specific number of columns and rows, it's recommended to switch to Manual Mode. In Manual Mode, you have the flexibility to adjust the desired number of columns and rows in the corresponding sections. Additionally, you can customize the gap between images and modify the width of your feed to suit your preferences:
For configuring display parameters on mobile devices, navigate to the Mobile Optimization section. Here you can specify the breakpoints to set the columns, rows and space between images in the feed depending on the screen size. The section provides three default resolutions with predefined settings that can be modified or retained. Additionally, you have the option to delete, duplicate, or add breakpoints as needed:
