Webflow does not currently offer a native app or plugin for embedding Instagram feeds directly into a website. To embed an Instagram feed above the footer, you’ll need to use a third-party integration or workaround.
1. Native Support Limitations
- Webflow does not provide a built-in Instagram feed integration or widget.
- The only available native options for social media are static social icons that link to platforms, not dynamic content.
2. Third-Party Embedding Options
To display a live Instagram feed, you’ll need to use tools like:
- EmbedSocial
- Elfsight
- Lightwidget
- SnapWidget
These tools generate embed code snippets (typically using an iframe or JavaScript), which you can place in Webflow using:
- Embed element added above the footer section.
- Custom code block in the page or site-wide settings.
3. Alternatives with Manual Updating
If you don’t need a live feed, you can:
- Manually upload selected Instagram images into your CMS or image gallery.
- Add links to each image manually pointing to the related Instagram post.
- Use CMS Collection Lists to display a styled “Instagram-like” feed with control over design.
4. Instagram API Custom Integration (Advanced Option)
If you have development resources, you can:
- Use the Instagram Basic Display API to fetch profile media.
- Connect it via Webflow’s CMS API using tools like Zapier or Make, or custom-built middleware.
- Still, this requires external tools, so it’s not fully native.
Summary
Webflow does not have a native plugin for Instagram feed embedding. To display dynamic Instagram content, use a third-party embed service (like Elfsight or Lightwidget), or set up a custom API connection. For the simplest solution above the footer, insert a third-party embed widget using a Webflow Embed block.
