Instagram Reels vs Image Posts: Which One Is Right for Your Brand?

Since the platform debuted Reels in August 2020, they’ve become a dominant force in social media. Creating reels is one of the best ways to get in front of non-followers. In fact, the spring 2024 Instagram algorithm update is built specifically to recommend reels to your followers and non-followers at the same time. So Reels are clearly the best type of content on Instagram, right?
It's not that simple. 
Let's start by getting the terminology straight. There are three major types of content you can publish on Instagram:
Reels - any type of video published to Instagram
Images - still images and photographs 
Stories - a series of images and/or videos that are available for only 24 hours
Technically, all of these count as "posts," but they are all governed by different Instagram algorithms. Stories live in a different part of the app, so we won't be focusing on them in this article. Reels also have a separate feed in the app, but both images and Reels can be published to your grid and can show up in your followers' feed. 
Since Instagram started as a photo-sharing app, the word "posts" or the phrase "in-feed posts" typically refers to a photo or image post. Standard video posts also used to be a thing, but now all videos published on Instagram are considered Reels.
While Reels can expand your brand's reach, image posts are still a viable way to connect with your audience. To nail a successful Instagram strategy you can't just choose one or the other. But when you're deciding which format to prioritize, several factors come into play, including your social media goals, your audience's preferences, and the resources you have available.
In this article, we're going to look at the difference between Instagram Reels and Instagram image posts (aka "in-feed posts"). We’ll talk about the advantages of each and how to balance posting Reels and photos to your grid and followers' feed.
What is an Instagram post?
Technically everything that you publish to your grid and that shows up in your followers' feeds is considered an Instagram post. Both Reels and image posts fall into this category. There used to be more of a distinction between Reels and standard video posts. However, Instagram has deprecated standard video posts into Reels.

It's estimated that the world's entire population, 1,000 years ago, was 300,000,000 - about the same number as the United States in 2006. In 1804, eight hundred years after reaching the 300 million mark, the world's population arrived at one billion people for the first time - it then took another century, in 1927, to hit 2 billion. The twentieth century, however, saw the world's population numbers skyrocket; 3 billion in 1959, 4 billion in 1974; 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1998, and then 7 billion by the end of 2011.
