What it is

Smash Balloon Instagram Feed is a WordPress plugin for placing customizable Instagram content on websites. It supports user-profile, hashtag, tagged-post, Stories, and Reels feeds, with grid, carousel, masonry, and highlight layouts. A visual customizer provides live previews and appearance controls without requiring design or technical knowledge. Moderation tools let site owners choose which posts appear, and shoppable feeds can connect individual posts to custom URLs. The plugin caches content, resizes images, and retrieves new posts in the background to reduce page-load impact. With GDPR mode enabled, posts and images load locally and third-party browser requests wait for visitor consent. Listed consent integrations include Cookie Notice, CookieYes, Complianz, Cookiebot, and Borlabs Cookie. The free version has limited features. Paid plans start at $49 a year for one website; higher plans cover additional sites or include analytics, priority support, and other Pro plugins.
