How it works

1. 1 Say what's happening in a sentence, the way you'd say it at the counter. Days, times and prices are picked out and set apart on the picture.
2. 2 Add a photo you took, and tap the part that matters most so every size keeps it in view.
3. 3 Pick a look: a chalkboard, gold leaf on the window, a till slip, a ticket stub. Colours can come from your photo, or be your own.
4. 4 Download one size, or all five with the captions and alt text in one file. On a phone, share it straight to the app.

Free, with no account. The post is drawn in your browser: your photo and logo are never uploaded, and nothing you write is sent to us. Remember keeps only your shop's details and usual choices, on this device.

Good to know

Which size should I post?

On Instagram, the tall 4:5 post takes up the most of the screen in the feed; the profile grid shows a narrower crop of it, which “Show what apps cover” marks. Stories are 9:16, with the top and bottom covered by the app. Facebook link pictures are wide, and Google Business Profile updates show best at 4:3. The apps change these from time to time (verify).

Why my own photo?

People can tell a real photo of your counter from a stock picture, and it's the one thing nobody else can post. A phone photo in good daylight is plenty. If there's no photo, every look still works with words alone.

What's alt text for?

People who are blind or have low vision hear it read aloud in place of the picture. Words that are only on the picture are lost to them otherwise, so the alt text says what the post says. Add a few words about your photo for a better description.

Posting a review

Only use words a customer really wrote, exactly as they wrote them, and ask before you use their name. LocoTap never writes reviews for you. A made-up or edited review can be misleading advertising under the Competition Act (verify), and it's against every app's rules.

French and English

Choose Both for a post in two languages, with a caption in each. In Quebec, French on commercial advertising generally has to be at least as prominent as any other language, which French first sets up for you (verify the current rules for your business).

How many hashtags?

A few that fit beat a long list. Your town or neighbourhood helps people nearby find you. Instagram gets up to five here, Facebook two, and Google none, since it doesn't use them.
