grid. by jd | instagram grid planner widget for notion
you plan content in notion, design it in canva, screenshot the mockup, and paste it somewhere else just to check if the grid actually looks right. then one post is off and you're redoing the whole thing 📱
grid. by jd fixes that. it's a live instagram grid preview widget connected straight to your notion database, so you see your real feed layout without leaving your workspace. drag posts around, filter by status, preview carousels and reels.
here's what's inside:
🖼️ your grid
✔ live grid preview, laid out in real instagram format
✔ 1080×1440 (3:4) ratio, matching the current instagram portrait size
✔ light and dark mode, so it matches however you work in notion
↕️ planning tools
✔ drag and drop to rearrange posts until the layout feels right
✔ date swapping: dates update automatically in your notion database when you reorder, and turn purple as you're arranging so you always know what's moved
✔ filter by status to see only what's scheduled, in progress, or ready to go
✔ filter memory, so your filter saves between sessions and stays where you left it
✔ pinned posts to keep evergreen content locked at the top regardless of date
🎨 content support
✔ canva embed: paste your canva embed link and your design previews live in the grid. update in canva, refresh, done
✔ carousels, upload multiple images to the attachment property and scroll through them in the lightbox
✔ reels and videos play on hover or click to watch in a larger size
✔ external links: paste an image url directly, no downloading or re-uploading needed
👤 your profile
✔ instagram-style bio: add your username, display name, bio, and website link
✔ highlight covers, upload your highlight images so your widget matches your real profile
✔ profile photo, upload your avatar to complete the look
⚙️ setup
✔ guided setup included
✔ notion database template included, duplicate and go, or connect to a database you already use
✔ works on the free notion plan, no notion upgrade required
✔ unlimited widgets, create separate grids for multiple accounts or clients
✔ all future updates included
a few notes:
✔ this is a widget, not a standalone notion template. it lives inside notion as an embedded widget connected to your database
✔ a one-time setup connects your notion database (guided and beginner-friendly, takes under 10 minutes)
✔ canva designs can take a couple of minutes to reflect updates after refreshing, that's canva's own caching and it's normal. give it a moment and it'll come through ☕
