Instagram story maker
Start from a 9:16 story template, replace the media and the words, and export at 1080×1920. Text stays clear of the top and bottom where Instagram draws its own interface.
Three steps, a couple of minutes
Pick a story template
Announcements, sales, countdowns, quotes, photo dumps and this-or-that polls, all in 9:16.
Swap the media and text
Drop your photo or clip into the frame, type your words, pick your colours.
Export
Download the MP4 and upload it to your story.
Why use CutLuma for this
Story-safe layout
Templates keep text away from the top and bottom strips where the profile, reply bar and stickers sit.
15 seconds or a sequence
Make one card or several, each a separate export, for a multi-part story.
One design, three places
Change the canvas to 4:5 or 1:1 and the same template becomes a feed post.
Questions? Answers.
What size is an Instagram story?
1080 × 1920 pixels, an aspect ratio of 9:16. Every story template is built at this size.
Can I add my own font and colours?
Yes. Pick any font from the font library, or set your brand colours on any element.
Can I make stories with a video instead of a photo?
Yes. Drop a video clip into the template frame; it is trimmed to the story length on the timeline.
