About this template

New Post Link in Bio — Free Instagram Story Template for New Content

New Post Link in Bio social post template: 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.

New Post Link in Bio is a free Story template for promoting new content: blog posts, YouTube videos, podcast episodes, newsletters and product drops. An editorial "New on the blog" label, a serif headline, a cover photo card and a bold "Read it, link in bio ↑" button point viewers to the link.

Editorial look

The headline is set in Playfair Display, a magazine-style serif, over a clean DM Sans label and button. The label has an accent underline, and the soft lilac background keeps the post feeling like content rather than an ad.

Room for the cover image

Upload your article's featured image, video thumbnail or episode art to the photo card. It fills the space between the headline and the button, with rounded corners and a soft shadow. The headline is capped at 40% of the height, so the image always has room.

Built around links

On Instagram, add a link sticker on top of the button area. For feed posts, the "link in bio" call to action tells followers where to go. The layout keeps text clear of the Story header and reply bar at 1080×1920.

Works beyond Stories

On the 16:9 landscape size the layout switches to two columns, with text on the left and the photo on the right, which suits X. On portrait and square sizes it works as a feed post announcing new content.

Prompt to recreate it

Copy this into your AI assistant of choice to build the effect from scratch, or as a jumping-off point for your own variant:

text
Design a 1080×1920 Instagram Story promoting a new blog post, in HTML and CSS.

- Soft lilac background. Keep content out of the top 250 px and bottom 340 px.
- An uppercase label with an accent underline, then a serif headline (Playfair Display 700) limited to 40% of the height.
- A rounded cover photo card with a soft shadow filling the remaining space (background-size: cover).
- Footer: a magenta pill button "Read it, link in bio ↑" and a handle.
- At 1600×900, switch to two columns: text left, photo right. Use --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.

Why use it

Why Use the New Post Link in Bio Template

→
Drives traffic to new content
A clear "link in bio" button with room for a link sticker turns a Story view into a click on your post, video or product.
✒
Editorial, not salesy
The serif headline and soft palette make the promo feel like content, so viewers are less likely to skip it.
▧
Your cover image, front and centre
The photo card fills the space under the headline, so your thumbnail or featured image does the convincing.

How it’s different

How It’s Different From Canva-Style Templates

</>
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, a 16:9 X post, a LinkedIn image and a Pinterest pin, or all six 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.
