Instagram Story Collage

Fill a tall 9:16 canvas with a clear hierarchy that reads quickly on a phone.

Stories are full-screen and vertical, so a 9:16 collage uses every pixel. A strong lead image with a couple of supporting photos keeps a story readable in the few seconds it is on screen.

Design for a full phone screen

A 9:16 canvas provides a tall story shape. Keep important content away from the edges, where app controls, captions or display cropping can cover it. Check the actual posting preview before publishing.

Two or three photos are usually enough — stories move fast, and a simple hierarchy communicates instantly.

  • 9:16 vertical canvas
  • Keep key content clear of the edges
  • Two or three photos for clarity

Also great for reels covers

The same 9:16 format works for reel covers and other vertical video thumbnails, giving your profile grid a coordinated look.

Leave room for the story interface

Place faces and essential details toward the central part of the design. The top and bottom of a Story can contain account information, replies or other app controls. A safe-looking desktop preview is not a substitute for checking the image inside the app.

A two- or three-picture sequence is easier to understand quickly than a dense grid. Download a still image, then add any music, stickers or text in Instagram. This tool does not export an animated Story or a video file.
