Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
I suppose you need 'postponing'. See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startpostponing [One can specify a page explicitly, or, more conveniently, an offset] First, we define a makeup and enable header, footer and page for it. Then we can put the float inside the makeup and wrap it with \start...\stoppostponing. Here is a MWE: %%% start example \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \definemakeup [FloatPage] \setupmakeup [FloatPage] [headerstate=normal, pagestate=start, align=middle, footerstate=normal] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[chapter][\date] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \starttext \startchapter [title={Chapter title}] \startpostponing[+1] \startFloatPagemakeup \placefigure{a floating cow}{\externalfigure[cow]} \stopFloatPagemakeup \stoppostponing \dorecurse{6}{\samplefile{knuth}} \blank \dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{tufte}} \stopchapter \stoptext %%% stop example Of course, I think some manual hand-tuning is required (in the final stages of the document) in deciding the right place to put the postponing block and in deciding what offset is best.
