Did You Know? — Free Fun Fact Post Template for Social Media
Did You Know? is a free fact post template for Instagram, Facebook and X. A giant translucent question mark fills the corner, a bold "Did you know?" heading sits at the top, the fact is the hero, and a small source line keeps it credible.
Why fact posts work
Facts and statistics are some of the most saved and shared posts because they are quick to read and easy to pass on. This layout gives the fact plenty of room, in Poppins at 700 weight, and keeps everything else small.
Credibility built in
The footer has a dedicated source line ("Source: CERN, 1991") on the left and your handle on the right. Citing a source makes a fact post more trustworthy and more likely to be reshared, especially for statistics and history posts.
Warm, attention-grabbing design
The default palette is a warm amber background with deep brown text and an orange accent. The oversized question mark is drawn as text in the heading font at 22% accent opacity, positioned partly off the canvas so it frames the content without competing with it. On Story size it moves up to stay clear of the reply bar.
Highlight the surprising part
Wrap the surprising part of the fact in *asterisks* to colour it with the accent, for example "The first website ever made is *still online*". Long facts shrink automatically to fit.
Pair it with Tip of the Day for educational series, or Big Quote for quotes.
Extend with AI
Take This Post Further With AI
Use an AI assistant with this template to turn a research report into a series of fact posts, rewrite facts into punchier one-liners, or translate the heading and fact into other languages.
Prompt to recreate it

- Warm solid background with an enormous translucent question mark (heading font, 22% accent opacity) bleeding off the bottom-right corner.
- Uppercase accent heading "Did you know?" at the top.
- The fact as large bold text (Poppins 700) in the middle, with an accent-coloured highlight span.
- Footer row: a small source line on the left and a bold handle on the right.
- Scale everything with --u (1% of the shorter side).Want to tighten it up first? Run this prompt through the AI Prompt Studio to score it across 8 quality dimensions, catch anti-patterns, and tune the wording for Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini before you paste it in.
