Customize the story
Customize your Instagram story with the help of our Instagram story editor. You can simply drag and drop your visuals and text, or if you lack the inspiration, you can choose preset typography styles and personalize it with other fonts and colors. Our elements library offers various choices from illustrations to stock photos, shapes, icons, buttons, and brand logos when it comes to visuals. Make sure you add your logo and brand name to draw the audience’s attention.

Preview and adjust
It is time to be creative by adding motion to your Instagram story. It is well-known that animated Instagram stories raise your creation’s chance to be unskippable and bring more potential followers. With Bannersnack Instagram story maker’s help, you can play around by adding clipping masks so the visual element will take that particular mask’s shape, add GIFs, or even audio using the drag and drop editor.
