Step by step
- Create a free PostWire account
Open postwire.io/dashboard.html, type your email and press Create my free account. PostWire emails you a link to confirm the address; connecting accounts and publishing unlock once it is confirmed. No password and no card (free plan: 1 business, 20 posts a month, 5 AI drafts a day (about 20 a month), 2 networks per post, 3 scheduled posts at a time — every network connects free, no card).
- Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube
Open Accounts, press Connect on each network and then Continue to TikTok (or Instagram, YouTube). You sign in on the network itself and come straight back; PostWire never sees your password and you do not need your own developer app — PostWire's TikTok, Meta and Google approvals cover it. Instagram needs a Business or Creator account, connected through the Facebook Page it is linked to; if several are linked, you pick which one.
- Upload the video and write one line about it
In Compose, drop the file on Add photos or a video (up to 1 GB), write a line in Your idea and tick the networks under Post to.
- Press Write the posts
PostWire writes a separate draft per network: TikTok caption, Instagram caption, YouTube title + description + SEO tags. Edit anything before it goes out.
- Publish now or put it in the queue
Choose TikTok's Who can view this video, then Publish now — or Schedule → Add to queue. The Queue page lists what is upcoming, with Reschedule and Cancel.
