After all, your stories are meant to be shared with your followers, so why not use something that will appeal to their tastes? This article will provide you with some great tips to create highlight icons for your Instagram stories, no matter what your brand is all about!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24_different_Instagram_story_highlight_icons\"><\/span>24 different Instagram story highlight icons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a variety of Instagram highlight icons can increase your visibility and create a more dynamic profile. Highlights help you showcase curated stories that your followers can watch in their feeds. They are especially useful for online stores, as they enable users to easily access various categories and types of content. Highlights can also be a great way to make your Instagram feed more visually consistent. They can also give users quick access to important information without having to scroll all the way through your entire story.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a beauty blogger, you can get an icon pack designed for this purpose. This icon set has a mix of icons in various color schemes and designs. The icons are easily customizable and are available in PNG, AI, and EPS formats. You can use them to add a unique twist to your highlights, or to highlight information about your business. To get these icons, you can visit the official website of Instagram and click on the download button.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use floral icons to define highlights in your Instagram stories. This icon pack includes sixteen hand-painted floral options, perfect for tropical stories and summer marketing campaigns. These icons are also perfect for Christmas stories. The pack contains over three hundred icons in various formats, including SVG and PNG. You can even use them on your Instagram story highlight covers. If you don&#8217;t have any free Instagram icon templates, you can download this collection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_different_categories\"><\/span>13 different categories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to create highlight icons on Instagram, but one of the easiest is to use an app to create the icon for your business. Apps like Buffer, Hubspot, and Pinterest can be useful resources if you want to customize the look of your Instagram profile. These apps use highlight icons to emphasize their brand&#8217;s story covers and keep categories simple. If you&#8217;re using a program like Buffer, you can even use the built-in text in Instagram to create your icon.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to create highlight icons for Instagram is to use a tool like Canva. This tool has pre-made icons you can choose from, but it is important to design the entire Highlights section before uploading the icon to your profile. This is an excellent way to show off the products or services that you have to offer. However, if you&#8217;re looking for a more custom look for your Highlights section, you can also create a new one with a different icon using your camera roll.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to use custom highlight cover images. Highlight covers can be created by adjusting the background image or cover image and then adding a new picture. Custom stories can be posted through Instagram. To post a story with a custom highlight, swipe left on your home feed and select &#8220;edit cover.&#8221; Once the cover image is selected, use the pinch-screen icon to move it to the desired position. You can also add new text to your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customizable_designs\"><\/span>Customizable designs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to use customizable highlight icons on Instagram, there are several ways to create them. You can choose from a variety of icon sets for each profile and channel. This can make creating these icons easy. Here are three different ways to design your own highlight icons for Instagram:<\/p>\n<p>The first way is by downloading new icons from the internet. Once you have downloaded the icons, all you need to do is to transfer them to your mobile device. Alternatively, you can choose a background from one of the available Layout Collections. Once you&#8217;ve transferred the icons to your device, you&#8217;re ready to go. Choose the background you want, and choose an icon to represent it. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can create your own custom highlight covers.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to customize Instagram highlight icons is to add branding to them. Typically, Instagram uses the first image you add as a cover. But, you can replace it with an image of your own. This is a great way to add branding. For example, Kim Klassen uses her highlight names to compliment her clean style. While it&#8217;s tempting to change these icons with every new update, keeping your branding consistent is the best way to go.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"542\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lm6Afos9cFo\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Get Highlight Icons For Your Instagram Stories?
