Why I love the PLANN app and how to use it … (and no, they don’t sponsor me to rave about how much I love it!)
- It’s on my phone, so I can use it anywhere.
- It’s easy!
- Plann shows me how my images and colour schemes fit together so my feed is exactly as I want it to look; gorgeous, cohesive and on brand!
- Plann ensures my Insta feed has enough white space and colour balance which is really important.
- Plann helps me stay organised and saves me so much time – it’s worth every penny!!!!
For Instagram artwork and infographics, I use a mixture of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, or my two portable favourites – the Wordswag & Typorama apps! So, once you’ve created your artwork, it’s time for PLANN!
I often share with clients how to use it in a one-on-one session, but for those needing a little step-by-step instruction, please read on …

There is a DESKTOP version as well as the APP. I only use the APP version, as I use SMARTERQUEUE for desktop preparation for much of my social posting, and for clients who we Social Media Manage for.
Plann has many tutorials, a great FAQ section, and excellent newsletters - make sure you subscribe to them!
