Instagram & Facebook Story Templates

Stories are full-screen and fast: viewers decide in a second whether to tap through. These templates are designed Story-first at 1080×1920, with layouts that keep text out of the top and bottom areas covered by Instagram's profile bar and reply field. This or That Poll frames a question and two answer cards around Instagram's poll sticker, and New Post Link in Bio promotes a new article, video or product with a cover image and a clear link call to action.

Every other template in the library also exports at Story size, so your feed posts can have matching Story versions.

This or That Poll: A Story-first engagement post: a question, two big answer cards with a "VS" between them and a prompt to vote, sized to stay clear of Story buttons.

New Post Link in Bio: An editorial Story that promotes a new blog post, video or product: a "New post" label, serif headline, photo card and a "Link in bio" call to action.

Best Uses for Stories Templates

🗳
Instagram Story polls (This or That Poll)
Post the 9:16 version, add Instagram's poll sticker below the prompt, and use the two cards to show the options in your brand style.
🔥
Engagement boosters (This or That Poll)
Ask light, divisive questions like "Tabs or spaces?" to get quick reactions from followers, which helps your later Stories reach more people.
📝
New blog posts (New Post Link in Bio)
Announce each new article with its headline and featured image, then add Instagram's link sticker on top of the button area.
▶
YouTube video drops (New Post Link in Bio)
Change the label to "New video", upload the thumbnail and point viewers to your channel link in bio when a video goes live.

How it’s different

Why These Templates Instead of Canva-Style Ones

</>
Real HTML and CSS, not a locked image
Canva-style templates only give you an image. These are plain HTML and CSS you can copy, download as a .html file or fork into My Code, then reuse on a website, in an email or in your own design system.
◍
Private by design
Text and photos never leave your browser. Images are drawn locally on a canvas, so client photos and unreleased product screenshots stay on your device.
⇲
Every size from one design
Layouts use relative units, so one design exports as an Instagram portrait post, a square, a Story and a 16:9 X post, or all four at once as a ZIP.
✓
Free, with no account or watermark
No sign-up, no premium-only templates, no watermark and no download limits. Edits are saved in your browser for next time.
Aa
Text that always fits
Long headlines shrink step by step instead of overflowing, and Story layouts keep text clear of Instagram’s buttons. Most template editors leave both to you.
v1
Versioned templates
Each template has a version number and an update date, and the exported HTML records which version you used, so you can tell when a design changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instagram and Facebook Stories are 1080×1920 pixels (9:16). Keep important text out of roughly the top 250 px and bottom 340 px, where the profile bar and reply field sit. These templates do that for you.

Stickers can't be part of an image. Download the Story, add it in Instagram, then place the poll or link sticker where the template leaves room.
