About this template
This or That Poll — Free Instagram Story Poll Template
This or That Poll is a free Story-first engagement template for Instagram and Facebook Stories. A "Settle this" kicker sits at the top, a big question fills the middle, two answer cards sit underneath with a round "VS" badge between them, and a "Vote in the poll ↓" prompt points to Instagram's poll sticker.
Designed for Story stickers
Instagram's poll sticker does the voting. This design gives it a stage. At 1080×1920 the two answer cards stack vertically with plenty of space, and the layout keeps text out of the top 250 px and bottom 340 px, where Instagram puts its header and reply bar. Place the poll sticker below the prompt.
Two clear choices
The cards are large rounded blocks: option A is translucent with a white outline, and option B is filled with the pink accent, so the two choices look distinct at a glance. The "VS" badge sits exactly between them, centred with CSS transforms.
Works in the feed too
On portrait, square and landscape sizes the answer cards sit side by side, so you can post the same question to the feed and ask for answers in the comments.
Questions that get answers
The best polls are quick and a little divisive: "Tabs or spaces?", "Coffee or tea?", "Dark mode or light mode?". Highlight the key word in the question with *asterisks*. Long questions shrink to fit.
For a Story that drives clicks instead of votes, use New Post Link in Bio.
