There are some design rules to follow when choosing an image to use as your profile cover. The placement of your image on your profile and the caption underneath your cover image should all be carefully considered. The best way to get maximum views is to select a good, eye-catching image. Here are some tips to get you started. Follow these rules and your highlight cover will be an instant hit!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_rules_to_making_a_highlight_cover_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Design rules to making a highlight cover on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to creating the most visually appealing highlight cover for your Instagram profile, there are some design rules to follow. Highlight covers are essentially little bubbles that users can click to view your story posts. While they&#8217;re smaller in size than your profile photo, they&#8217;re still essential to the design of your highlight. Here are a few things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<p>Keep it uncluttered and easily readable. Use the same aesthetic and colors as your brand. Then, download your highlight cover and add it to your Instagram account! Make sure to center your photo, and click on the &#8220;upload&#8221; option to upload it. Once the cover is uploaded, you can edit it to change its image or add a caption. If you choose a different image, you can always make it retroactively.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apps_that_can_be_used_to_make_a_highlight_cover\"><\/span>Apps that can be used to make a highlight cover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a great app to create a highlight cover on Instagram, you can&#8217;t go wrong with PicsArt. This popular photo editing application specializes in highlight covers and offers a variety of formats and layouts. It&#8217;s also available in mobile and is perfect for users of all levels of digital skills. Additionally, it has a large library of templates to choose from and allows you to combine stickers and backgrounds. If you&#8217;re unsure where to start, you can also use StoryArt &#8211; an insta story editor.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of different apps that can help you create a highlight cover. You can download a variety of samples for free, and then customize them separately. These apps include a wide variety of overlays, stickers, and graphic elements, which will allow you to create the perfect highlight cover for your Instagram account. They&#8217;re also free and allow you to create a post with the right size.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Placement_of_your_image_on_your_profile\"><\/span>Placement of your image on your profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can create your own Instagram highlight covers by using the Canva app. The app has a large library of templates for you to choose from. You can choose the color scheme and style of your cover and modify the graphics and text to fit your account. Once you have selected the image, you can customize the layout by adding text and graphics, and uploading it to Instagram. You can also add stories to your highlights without posting them. To do so, go to Settings &gt; Stories. Scroll down to Story Controls. Under Hide story from others, click Edit Story Sharing Settings, then select the option to Hide story from public. You can then delete the story from your profile after 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve uploaded an image to your Instagram profile, you can choose a title. The text will be placed in the center of the image, so it&#8217;s important to choose a title that describes your brand and what it stands for. If you don&#8217;t feel comfortable writing about your brand or your business, you can use simple, descriptive phrases in your caption. Make sure to include a picture, as your Instagram cover is displayed to all users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_caption_under_your_highlight_cover\"><\/span>Using the caption under your highlight cover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to include a new image in your highlight cover, you&#8217;ll need to change the default picture. The image you choose for your cover should be eye-catching and relevant to your story. You can use an image from your phone or a highlight from your story, whichever you prefer. Adding a caption to your highlight is one of the easiest ways to add a caption to your Instagram photos.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an artist, consider using an icon that fits your personality. An artist like Chris Simpson may be known for his ridiculous art, but his Instagram is very professional and represents his style. He has also successfully branded himself by using an emoji in his highlight covers. Using a recognizable logo or color scheme can help users recognize your Highlights quickly. By following these tips, you&#8217;ll be well on your way to boosting your Instagram presence.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"520\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lm6Afos9cFo\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Make a Highlight Cover on Instagram?
