Is there a native app or plugin available in Webflow for embedding Instagram feeds above the footer of a website, without having to rely on third-party tools?

TL;DR
  • Use a third-party tool like Elfsight or SnapWidget to generate an Instagram feed embed code.  
  • In Webflow, add an Embed element above your footer and paste the embed code there.

Webflow does not provide a native app or plugin for embedding Instagram feeds, so you will need a third-party tool to display an Instagram feed above your footer.

​

1. No Native Instagram Integration in Webflow

​

  • Webflow does not have a built-in widget or module that pulls dynamic Instagram content.
  • The platform discontinued support for previous Instagram embed methods due to API changes on Facebook’s end.

​

2. Alternatives Using Embed Code

​

To display an Instagram feed above your footer, you’ll need to use a third-party integration. Popular tools include:

​

  • Elfsight
  • SnapWidget
  • Juicer
  • LightWidget

​

These services generate a customizable embed code for your Instagram feed.

​

3. How to Embed with Third-Party Tools

​

  • Generate your feed on the third-party tool's website and copy the provided embed code (usually an iframe or script).
  • In Webflow, navigate to the page or template where your footer appears.
  • Add an Embed element directly above your footer section in the Designer.
  • Paste the embed code into the Embed element.

​

4. Considerations

​

  • Ensure your Instagram account is public, or the feed won’t show externally.
  • Some feed tools may require authentication via Meta’s API to pull content.
  • Free versions of services often display branding or limit the number of posts.

​

Summary

​

Webflow does not have a native Instagram feed integration, so to display a feed above your footer, use a third-party tool like Elfsight or SnapWidget, embed the code using a Webflow Embed element, and customize its placement accordingly.
