# Free social media tools to check, write and plan Check a public Instagram or TikTok profile, draft your next caption, or plan a week of posts. Pick the tool that answers your next question, no login needed. ## How it works The hub carries your username into individual tools. It does not run background checks. Post statistics use a post link, and generators use your own description. ## Which tool for which question Start with your question, not the tool. Each free social media tool needs just one input. | Your question | Tool | You need | | --- | --- | --- | | What should I fix on my profile? | [Profile check](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/profile-check) | your handle | | How well do my posts land? | [Engagement rate calculator](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/engagement-rate-calculator) | your handle | | When should I post? | [Best time to post](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/best-time-to-post-instagram) | your handle | | How did one post do? | [Post statistics](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/post-statistics) | the link to the post | | How does my profile look with a new bio? | [Profile preview](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/post-preview) | your handle | | What do I write under the post? | [Caption generator](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/caption-generator) | a short description | | Which hashtags fit? | [Hashtag generator](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/hashtag-generator) | your topic | | What goes out when? | [Content calendar template](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/content-calendar-template) | platforms and rhythm | ## Improve your profile in four weeks The tools work together. Here's how to use them in order. 1. **Week 1, check:** Run the profile check and take on the top tip. It's usually the bio or the link. 2. **Week 1, write your bio:** Get up to three drafts from the [bio generator](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/bio-generator) and try them in the profile preview. 3. **Week 2, plan:** Use the content calendar template to set three topics and a rhythm you can keep. 4. **Weeks 2 to 4, post and measure:** Write captions with the generator, pick five hashtags and check each post in post statistics after a few days. > Ceramico Studio starts with a profile check score of 74. After a new bio, a link to the collection and a steady rhythm of three posts a week, the studio checks again after four weeks. ## For Instagram and TikTok The check tools take handles from both networks. The writing tools and the best time tool have their own page per platform, because the rules differ. - **Instagram:** bios up to 150 characters, at most five hashtags per post, engagement measured against followers. - **TikTok:** bios up to 80 characters, two to four hashtags, engagement measured against views. There's a [TikTok caption generator](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/tiktok-caption-generator) and a [best time to post on TikTok](https://crowdbird.ai/en/free-tools/best-time-to-post-tiktok) tool for that. ## When to switch to the app The tools only use public data. Private profiles can't be checked, and we don't store what you type into the generators. If you want the stored public data for a handle deleted, write to us through the [contact page](https://crowdbird.ai/en/contact). Switch to [Crowdbird's features](https://crowdbird.ai/en/features) when you want to schedule posts across several networks, see your connected accounts' metrics over time or reply to Instagram and Facebook comments automatically by DM. ## Your questions ### Do I need to connect my social account to use the free tools? No, you can use the tools without connecting an account or creating a login. For a profile tool, enter your public handle. For post statistics, paste a public post link. Writing tools need a description of your content or business instead of access to your account. ### Can these tools analyze private Instagram or TikTok accounts? No, profile analysis requires a public account. The tools cannot read private posts or account-only insights. If your account is private, you can still draft captions, bios and hashtags from your own description, or use the content calendar template to organize what you want to publish. ### Are these free Instagram tools also available for TikTok? Yes, the hub includes tools for both Instagram and TikTok. Profile analysis tools accept handles from either network, while captions, bios, hashtags and posting times have separate pages for each platform. Choose the matching page before you start so the output uses the right format and limits. ### What does the profile check score mean? The score summarizes your profile using Crowdbird's own rules, not an industry benchmark. It considers engagement, posting rhythm, bio, link in bio and hashtag use, plus format mix on Instagram. Use the prioritized tips to decide what to change first rather than treating the score as a prediction of future performance. ### How many Instagram hashtags should I use? On Instagram, use no more than 5 hashtags per post in total (caption and first comment together). Pick tags that describe the actual subject, product or niche instead of filling every slot automatically. The hashtag tool gives you a pool of ideas to choose from, and the Instagram caption generator keeps its suggestions within that limit. ### Can the free tools schedule social media posts? No, the standalone tools help you prepare content and assess public posts. Scheduling happens in the Crowdbird app. The app has a calendar for 11 networks, including Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, with posts publishing at the time you set. Scheduling comes with a paid plan, which you can try free for 3 days. ### Are my generator inputs stored, and how do I remove my data? Generator inputs are not stored. Public profile results are cached for six hours and post results for twelve. Post metrics are also kept for 30 days, or 90 days for profiles connected to Crowdbird, and engagement results for 7 days as a comparison base. To have all of it deleted for your handle, or the handle kept out of the tools for good, write to us through the contact page and choose the topic “Privacy and my data”. ### Do the free tools cost anything? No. You use them without a login and without a payment card. ### How do the posting-time tools work? They look at a handle's recent public posts and show promising hours in your browser's time zone. They measure how posts did by posting hour, not when followers are online. From 8 posts you see windows, and with fewer than 20 the result is a first hint. ### How far ahead can I plan with the content calendar template? Up to 13 weeks. One week with a product detail, a look at the making process and an answer to a customer question is a good start.
