About this template
Coming Soon Teaser — Free Coming Soon Post Template for Instagram
Coming Soon Teaser is a free pre-launch post template that builds anticipation before you reveal something new. A huge outlined "Coming soon" headline sits over a blurred mystery image, with a short teaser line, the launch date in a bright pill and a "turn on post notifications" call to action.
Tease, don't tell
The best teaser posts give away just enough to make people curious. That's why the image is blurred on purpose: upload a photo of the product, the new store or the app screen, and it shows as a soft, mysterious glow rather than a full reveal. Without a photo, the background shows abstract accent-coloured light, so the post works even before you have final images.
Typography that stops the scroll
The headline uses outlined, condensed capitals that read clearly against the dark background, while the teaser line underneath can highlight a word with *asterisks*. The launch date sits in a solid accent-coloured pill, the single most important detail, and the call to action tells followers exactly how not to miss the launch.
Part of a launch campaign
Post it a week or two before launch, follow with the Countdown post as the date gets closer, announce the day with We're Live, and show the product with Product Launch. Every size, from Story to Pinterest, comes from one design, and you can export a short animated video for Reels.

- Near-black background with a heavily blurred image (or abstract lime and violet light) behind a dark radial vignette.
- A small lime uppercase label, then a huge outlined "COMING SOON" headline (transparent fill, white text stroke) in a condensed font.
- A bold teaser line with one highlighted phrase, then the launch date in a solid lime pill, a "Turn on post notifications" line and the handle.
- Centre everything, and size it with a CSS variable --u equal to 1% of the shorter side.Want to tighten it up first?
