Tip of the Day — Free Educational Tip Post Template for Instagram
Tip of the Day is a free social post template for daily or weekly tip series. It pairs a pill-shaped "Tip of the day" label with a large faded tip number, a bold headline tip, a short explanation and a footer with your logo and handle.
Built for a series
Numbered tips ("#27") build a habit with your followers, and the large translucent number in the top-right corner makes each post feel like part of a collection. Keep the colours and fonts the same, change only the number, tip and explanation, and your grid gets a consistent look.
Readable hierarchy
The headline uses Plus Jakarta Sans at 800 weight with tight tracking, and the explanation is a lighter, smaller paragraph at 82% opacity, so people can take in the tip at a glance and read the detail if they stop scrolling. Highlight the key term with *asterisks* to colour it with the accent.
Soft gradient background
The card uses a gentle CSS linear-gradient between two tints (lavender to periwinkle by default), so it reads as calm and trustworthy, which suits education, coaching and product how-to content. The logo slot is optional and keeps its proportions.
Sizes and export
Every tip works as a 4:5 portrait post, a square, a Story and a 16:9 landscape post for X. Long tips shrink to fit. Download a PNG or JPEG, every size as a ZIP, or fork the HTML into My Code to reuse it elsewhere.
Posting developer tips? The Code Tip template adds an editor-style code window.

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:
Build a 1080×1350 "tip of the day" social post in HTML and CSS.
- Soft linear gradient background between two light tints.
- Top row: a pill label ("Tip of the day") on the left and a large, faded tip number ("#27") on the right.
- Centre: a bold headline tip (Plus Jakarta Sans 800) above a lighter one-sentence explanation.
- Footer: optional logo and a handle.
- Use a --u variable (1% of the shorter side) for all sizes so the layout scales to square, Story and landscape formats.Want to tighten it up first?
