Hi New Mods,

If you've ever tried to schedule a native image post on Reddit, you've probably noticed that it's not possible. Reddit's built-in scheduler supports text and link posts, but not native image posts. The usual workaround involves uploading to Imgur or another third-party host and scheduling a link post. However, that means no image preview in the feed, and your data leaves Reddit.

Image Post Scheduler is a mod tool built on the Reddit Developer Platform that fixes this. It lets you schedule recurring native image posts, with a full image preview in the feed, flair, and optional body text, directly on Reddit. No third-party image hosts, no workarounds.

What it does

• Schedule native image posts with full image preview in the feed.
• Upload an image (drag-and-drop, file picker, or clipboard paste - JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, up to 20 MB) directly to Reddit's CDN, no external services.
• Set a title, optional body text, and pick a flair from your subreddit's live flair list.
• Pick a date, time, and timezone. No more mental UTC math :).
• Post as yourself or as the app account - your choice per post.
• Queue multiple posts at different scheduled times.
• Cancel anytime before the post goes live.
• Track the history of published posts with direct links.

Recurring posts

• Schedule posts to repeat at preset intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) or custom intervals (every N hours, days, weeks, or months).
• Use dynamic date tokens in titles - e.g., "Weekly Thread - {{date %A, %B %d}}" automatically becomes "Weekly Thread - Friday, June 13" on each firing.

Other features

• Calendar view - visual month grid showing all scheduled and recurring posts.
• Post templates - save and load reusable form configurations. Very helpful for those recurring discussion threads.
• Edit queued posts inline without cancelling and recreating.
• Live Reddit-style post preview as you fill in the form.

Everything runs on Reddit's infrastructure. No external services, no third-party APIs, no data leaving the platform.

Check out the README for the full set of features.

Why I built it

I moderate a movie community where discussion posts need to go live at specific local times tied to film releases. Multiple releases in a week mean multiple posts at odd hours (mods live in different timezones. For years, that meant someone setting an alarm early in the morning to manually upload a poster and hit submit. This tool automates that entirely.

It started as a personal solution for my community, but 200+ communities have since adopted it.

The latest version (v3.0), which went public last week, recently won Best New Mod Tool at the Reddit Mod Tools and Migrated Apps Hackathon :).

If this sounds useful for your community, do give it a try. And feel free to reach out to me if you run into any issues or have some feature requests.

Thanks. :)
