Free Instagram Story Maker

Full-screen stories, Reels covers and TikTok covers at 1080 × 1920, designed in minutes.

Instagram / TikTok story · 1080 × 1920 px

Other sizes: Instagram post 1080 × 1080 px Instagram portrait 1080 × 1350 px

Stories are vertical and full screen. Keep your headline away from the very top and bottom, where Instagram shows the profile picture and the reply bar, and use big fonts, gradients and shapes to make it pop.

Make a series of stories as pages in one design, then download each one as a PNG.
