Best Time to Post Planner
See benchmark best days and time windows to post on each social platform.
About this tool
Plan your posting schedule with industry-benchmark best days and time windows for Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest. Enter a platform (and an optional timezone label) as key=value lines, or leave it blank to see every platform at once. The output is intentionally framed as a starting point — the tool reminds you to validate these windows against your own analytics rather than treating them as gospel.
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to post on Instagram?
Benchmarks point to Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with windows around 11:00-13:00 and 19:00-21:00. Treat these as starting points and confirm against your own analytics.
What is the best day to post on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn engagement peaks on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during business hours — roughly 07:30-09:00, 11:00-12:00 and 17:00-18:00. Weekends are weak.
Are best-time-to-post benchmarks reliable?
They are aggregate averages and a good place to begin, but your audience's behaviour depends on niche and region. Always A/B test posting times against your own analytics.
