Free Threads Post Scheduler: Plan Posts Ahead

Yes, you can schedule Threads posts: the Threads app has a Schedule option in the composer, and Pubblica schedules them from your browser along with your other networks. Write a post once, pick your Threads account and any of 8 other networks, set a time, and it publishes on its own.

How to schedule Threads posts in the Threads app

You schedule a post in the Threads app from the composer, following the steps in the official Threads announcement:

1. Write your post in the Threads composer.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the composer, then tap Schedule.
3. Choose a date and time, then tap Schedule again.

Scheduled posts appear in your drafts folder with a note showing when each will publish. Open a post there to edit or delete it before it goes out.

How to schedule Threads posts with Pubblica

Scheduling Threads posts in Pubblica takes three steps, all in your browser:

1. Connect your Threads account. Sign in through Threads' own login. Pubblica publishes through Meta's official Threads API and never sees or stores your password.
2. Write the post and pick the networks. Add text, images or video, select Threads and any other accounts, and check the Threads preview. Pubblica checks each file against Threads limits as soon as you add it. For the right shape, see Threads image sizes.
3. Set the date and time. Pubblica publishes the post to every selected account at that time. The scheduler shows your time zone, and you can pick any date in the future. To choose the hour, see the best time to post on Threads.

What you can post to Threads with Pubblica

Pubblica publishes text posts, single images or videos, and carousels to Threads:

• Text posts. Threads accepts text without media, so a quick update can go out on its own.
• An image or a video. Attach one file and Pubblica publishes it with your caption.
• Carousels. Add several files, including a mix of images and videos, and they publish as one swipeable post.
• A caption for Threads only. Use the same text everywhere or write a separate caption for Threads. A long caption can be checked against the Threads character limit first.

Before the post goes out, the preview shows how it will look on Threads.

Threads and your other networks

If you also post to Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, one post in Pubblica goes to all of them: select the accounts, keep one caption or write one per network, and set a single time. Instagram needs an image or a video, while Threads also takes the text alone, so a text update can go to Threads, LinkedIn and X while a photo post goes everywhere.

The same composer covers the rest of your networks. Send a Facebook Page post or Reel with the Facebook scheduler, or turn the same image into a Pin with the Pinterest scheduler. Text updates go out the same way with the LinkedIn scheduler and the X (Twitter) scheduler. Photo posts and Reels go to Instagram with the Instagram scheduler.

When to use the Threads app and when to use a scheduler

The Threads app's Schedule option works well for a single Threads post planned from your phone. A scheduler fits when Threads is one of several networks:

• you post the same update to Threads and Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn;
• you plan a week of posts in one sitting from a computer;
• you want every scheduled post, on every network, on one calendar;
• you manage Threads accounts for clients and group them by client in workspaces.

Who Pubblica's Threads scheduler is for

• Creators who share each update on Threads and Instagram and want both out at the same hour.
• Freelancers and social media managers who run several Threads accounts: connect as many as you need on both plans.
• Indie founders and small teams who post product news to Threads, LinkedIn and X without an enterprise tool.

The Free plan includes Threads and 20 posts a month on every network except X, with unlimited accounts and no card. Pro is $20 a month for unlimited posts on all 9 networks and AI hashtags, with a 7-day free trial. See both plans of our free social media scheduler.
