My Top 5 Apps For Instagram Story Templates

This post (Top 5 apps for instagram story templates) was inspired by the amazing creatives who are using Instagram story to share bits of their creative life with others)

If I say Instagram is one of the best things that happened in our time, I bet I won’t be far from the truth. It’s amazing how a single platform has become a marketplace, an interactive space and a visual inspiration board.

If that’s not a big deal to you, it’s certainly a big deal to the vendors, influencers, bloggers and business owners making it big via Instagram. So it’s no wonder that everyone has suddenly jumped on the Instagram story trend. It’s such an easy and wonderful way to be seen and to document your day/life. Creatives are constantly looking for creative ways to make their Instagram Stories pop. So we have seen a rise in apps for Instagram story templates.

Instagram Story unlike many other platform adopts a large picture sizing (1080px byb1920px)  This gives enough room for one to play around with images and graphics.

To help people create and optimize content for Instagram story, some creators have designed apps that come with pre-made Instagram templates and all you need do is edit and voila, you are good to go.

The apps I’ll be talking about in this post are not Instagram photo editing apps. If you are interested in that, I wrote a detailed post on The best apps for Instagram photo editing.

So here are my top 5 apps for Instagram story templates.

1. Unfold

Unfold is like the holy Grail when it comes to apps for Instagram story templates. This app is a favourite among Instagram story users especially the creative community on Instagram. It comes with pre-built templates. Some are free while some are paid. However, their prices are not exorbitant. Cost between 300-990 Naira.

Personally I love the unfold app because it lets you add both images and videos. This is why it is a step ahead because the other apps in this post only allow images.

This app is available for both iPhone and Android users.

2. Canva

I like to call Canva a designers heaven. Before I started blogging I had no knowledge of how to design simple graphics. When I realized I need to learn how to design simple graphics, I turned to Canva for desktop. I was so happy when they released their app version for Android users. Canva has so many templates for different social media platforms.

I love using Canva templates for my Instagram stories as it is easy to use and unlike the rest of the apps on this list, you can edit and change the template to suit your taste as they have various tools including a large directory of beautiful fonts, colours and shapes. I Love this app.

3. Story Art

My all time favourite Instagram story app! I discovered this app about two weeks ago and since then I haven’t stopped playing around with it. It comes packed with the most amazing Instagram story templates and this is what make it my favourite app for Instagram story templates.

A lot of people don’t know about this app because I think it’s fairly new but I encourage you to download and play around with it, trust me you will be happy you did. It comes with both free and paid templates but I use them all without paying.

Wondering how? That’s a secret for my subscribers, so if you want to be let in on how I use the app without paying, subscribe at the end of this post and you will receive an email with the details.

4. Story Maker

This is a basic app for Instagram story template. It doesn’t come with all the fancy templates that Unfold and Story Art come with. But it still gets the job done.

This app has templates with fun shapes, such as love shapes etc.

5. Adobe Spark Post

I still remember my first encounter with this app. I was amazed at all the amazing things one could create with the Adobe Spark Post app. There are also templates for different social media platforms.

The reason I love this app is because it makes everything easier. You can design with a Facebook template and convert it to an Instagram story template with just one click.

All these apps for Instagram story templates are amazing but what really matters is how you use it. What you create with it. I always advice you don’t write any app off without trying to learn about it first. There are tutorials on google and YouTube on how to use most of these apps. So go ahead, learn how these apps work, add your own creativity and go slay your Instagram stories.
