Postags helps you make social posts without jumping between separate design and hashtag tools. Start with a clean poster format, add your own headline and subtitle, then adjust the style, color, font, size, and text position. When the poster is ready, save it to Photos, copy your caption, or keep a draft so you can return to it later. The hashtag section gives you a simple library for finding tags by trend, popularity, search, or category. Pick tags for travel, brand posts, food, fashion, events, tech, fitness, real estate, and more. Postags is built for creators, small businesses, marketers, event teams, and anyone who wants a faster way to prepare polished social content. Everything stays local on your device. Postags does not collect or share your poster text, captions, drafts, or hashtag activity.
