How to Create Custom Instagram Posts
Ready to create your own on-brand Instagram post? Head to the Graphic Designer. By clicking on the link, you’ll find yourself within our Instagram Post Template Library.
Step 1: Choose a Template
Choose a design that takes your fancy and click Use This Template to get started.
Step 2: Swap out the Existing Images
The images on your design template can be replaced with any photo of your choice. To fill the template with your custom content, open the Image Manager tab in the menu on the left and use the Computer button to upload any photo from your computer’s files.
Alternatively, you can click the Search Stock Images button to search over a million free stock photos to use in your project! Just click on the images you wish to use. Once selected, your images will appear in the Image Manager as thumbnails that you can drag and drop to replace any existing images on the template.
Step 3: Change the Template’s Background Color
Want a background that suits your own color scheme better? To change the template’s existing background color, navigate to Customize in the menu on the left. From here, you can select one of the featured color swatches or click on the first swatch to open the Color Picker, from which you can select a new color, type in a specific color’s HEX code, or use the Eye Dropper tool to choose a color already present in your design.
Step 4: Replace the Template’s Existing Text
To edit the text on your template, double-click any text box and begin typing. A Text Properties menu will appear any time you have a text box selected, allowing you to customize the look of the text. Use it to select new fonts that match your brand aesthetic, and even add your own fonts if you’ve got something specific in mind. You can also customize the color of your text, letter spacing, or opacity, add a drop shadow or an outline, and so much more!
To add some additional text to your design, simply select any text box and press the D button on your keyboard to Duplicate the text and all of its properties. Then, type something new and drag the text box into your preferred position on the template. Alternatively, you can navigate to Text in the menu on the left, followed by Add Text.
Step 5: Add Graphics, if Necessary
If you'd like to add any additional vector graphics, open the Graphics tab in the left-hand menu and click the Search Graphics button or choose one of our customizable Basic Shapes.
The Search Graphics button will open our Graphic Library, where you can search hundreds of vector graphics to add to your post. Click on any that you'd like to use, then close the menu to see the selected graphics loaded into the Your Graphics section ready for you to add to your design. From here, you can drag and drop the graphics onto your post.
Step 6: Customize Your Graphics
If you added graphics to your Instagram post, then you can also customize them so they’re more cohesive with your own branding. To do this, simply click on the graphic and a Graphic Properties menu appears. From here, you can adjust the graphic’s Color Overlay, Tint, Drop Shadow, and more.
Step 7: Save Your Custom Instagram Post
Once you’re finished with your Instagram Post, click the Save button at the top of the page and choose your destination. In addition to saving your final Instagram post to your computer, we also recommend choosing the Save as Project option to save your template in an editable format. That way, you can reopen the project and easily swap out the text and photos for use in future Instagram posts.
