Bluesky isn’t just another social platform for posting text updates — it’s also a fantastic place to share images and grab attention.
Whether you're aiming for more engagement, building your brand, or just having fun connecting with others, posting visuals can seriously boost how people interact with you.
I’ve been regularly posting images on Bluesky to keep my audience engaged, and I’ve noticed it works across all platforms too. Good images naturally invite likes, comments, reposts — and even new followers.
Here’s exactly how you can start posting images on Bluesky and how I make the process even easier by scheduling everything ahead of time!

Why Posting Images Matters (and One Major Limitation)
Images are powerful — they stop people from scrolling, drive conversations, and get your posts more attention.
But here's the catch: Bluesky doesn't offer a built-in scheduling option.
This means if you want to post at the best times (when your audience is active) or if you have a busy schedule or live in a different timezone, you have to be online and ready to post manually every time. As a content creator, that’s almost impossible to keep up with consistently.
