Free Instagram Story Maker — No Watermark, No Login

This Instagram Story maker is a free, browser-based design tool built for the 1080×1920 pixel vertical size Instagram uses for Stories. Start from a countdown, a behind-the-scenes photo layout, or a question prompt below, or build your own from scratch with text, shapes, icons, and photos.

Using it is simple: pick a template or a blank canvas, edit the text and colors to match your brand, drag in your own photo, and rearrange elements until the layout feels right. When you're done, export your Story as a PNG or JPEG in one click — no login, no watermark, and nothing to install.

Everything you create is saved automatically in your browser as you work, so nothing is lost if you close the tab. Once you're comfortable with the editor here, the same tools power our Instagram post, YouTube thumbnail, poster, and banner makers too.

The three starter templates below cover common Story formats: a dark countdown layout with a bold headline and a shop-now button, a warm behind-the-scenes frame built around a tall photo placeholder, and a bright two-option prompt made to sit under a poll sticker. Each one is fully editable, so you can change every color, font, and piece of text — they're a quick way to skip the blank canvas, not a fixed design you're stuck with.
