Scroll-stopping Instagram templates sized perfectly for feed, stories, and reels.
Instagram rewards designs that look native to the feed — bold type, strong contrast, and layouts that read at a glance. These templates are built at Instagram's exact recommended sizes: 1080×1080 px for square feed posts and 1080×1920 px for stories and reels covers.
Open any template and make it yours: swap the headline, drop in your own photos or AI-generated imagery, apply your brand kit colors and fonts with one click, then export a crisp PNG or JPG ready to post.
