How the calculation works
The same data the engagement calculator already fetches — no new lookup, just a different way of looking at it.
We convert each date to Brasília time (Brazil) and group the posts by day of the week and time slot (late night, morning, afternoon, evening).
The day and time slot with the most likes on average, among the ones you've already tried.
The honest limit of this tool
12 posts isn't a big sample — it's what Instagram's public data lets us see at once.
The result shows where your latest posts have already performed best, not a guaranteed prediction. If your 12 posts all went out at similar times, there's little variation to compare — treat it as a direction, not a fixed rule. Posting at different times over a few weeks and running the tool again gives a more reliable picture.
Frequently asked questions
How many posts does the tool use to calculate the best time?
With the profile's last 12 public posts — the same sample used in the engagement calculator. It's a small sample: treat the result as a direction, not a statistical certainty.
Is the time shown in Brasília time?
Yes. We convert each post's publish date to São Paulo time (America/Sao_Paulo), regardless of where you're accessing from.
Why does the result change if I post at very different times?
Because the sample is small. The more spread out the times of your last 12 posts are, the less reliable it is to point to "the" best time — in that case, use the result as a snapshot of what's worked so far, not as a fixed rule.
Does this tool read my Instagram password?
No. It uses the same public data (profile and recent posts) as the engagement calculator, with no password and no login.
