How to design an Instagram text post
Make the message readable before it reaches the caption
Instagram text graphics work best when they communicate one idea immediately. Use the image for the hook and place the longer explanation in the post caption.
-
01
Lead with one clear idea
Write a short statement, announcement or carousel title. Break lines around meaning rather than forcing every line to the same length.
-
02
Select the destination format
Use 1080×1350 portrait for a feed post, 1080×1080 for a versatile square or 1080×1920 for a full-screen story.
-
03
Check the mobile preview
Keep strong contrast, leave breathing room near the edges and confirm the handle or brand label is legible before export.
Square, portrait or story?
Square post
Choose 1:1 for a compact asset that can also move easily between other social platforms.
Instagram Story
Choose 9:16, keep important copy away from the very top and bottom, and preview it at phone size.
Made to be useful
Built for the rhythm of the feed
Use a 4:5 portrait for more screen space, a square for flexibility or a story layout for full-screen impact.
Platform-ready sizes
Create 1080×1350 posts, 1080×1080 squares and 1080×1920 stories.
Bold visual systems
Colour, hierarchy and graphic elements make even a short message feel intentional.
Your own background
Add a photo from your device and keep it private while you design.
