This free tool is great for creating beautiful, eye-catching covers for your Instagram posts. It allows you to include your brand&#8217;s logo or other important information. If you don&#8217;t have a graphic design background, you can even use your own photo. Just remember to upload the image to Instagram before you post it. That way, you can easily edit and save it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canva_is_a_free_tool_to_design_instagram_highlights\"><\/span>Canva is a free tool to design instagram highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To design an Instagram highlight, you can use the free tool Canva. To get started, sign in to Canva and create a new project. Select the &#8220;Instagram Stories&#8221; template and add pictures and videos to your project. After you&#8217;re done, click &#8220;Export&#8221; and choose &#8220;Highlight Cover&#8221; from the options. You can then choose the image or video that you want to use for your Instagram highlight.<\/p>\n<p>The Canva app lets you easily create an Instagram highlight cover. It comes with a built-in template that matches Instagram&#8217;s format. First, select the image that you&#8217;d like to use as your cover. Then, use the &#8220;text&#8221; tool to add business information to the cover. Then, save the image. Done! Now, you have a beautiful Instagram highlight cover!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_logo\"><\/span>Adding a logo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a business owner looking for ways to increase the visibility of your account, then one of the best ways is to create a custom Highlight cover. Creating your own highlight cover is incredibly simple, and you can create one with no templates at all. Just download a free Canva template and add a background color and your brand&#8217;s hex code to it. You can also add illustrations to the cover, or upload your own photo.<\/p>\n<p>Using Canva to create your cover is an excellent way to design an Instagram highlight. There are many options for color, fonts, icons, and other elements, and you can even create unlimited pages for your highlights. Once you&#8217;ve created your cover, all you have to do is upload it to Instagram. Your highlight will look professional and more consistent with your brand. In addition to adding a logo, it will look more cohesive with your brand&#8217;s aesthetic and voice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_product_or_service\"><\/span>Adding a product or service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a product or service as highlighting content on Instagram will boost your organic reach and increase your chances of conversion. The best way to engage your audience is to post engaging content. For example, if you are a tennis coach, you can add a highlight of the five exercises you recommend to improve your tennis serve. You can also highlight relevant blog posts, such as articles on the latest tennis trends.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights allow you to collect photos, Stories, and user generated content that are related to your brand or business. If you have a pop-up store, you can post a photo and link that directs people to your website. If you&#8217;re a blogger, you can include user-generated content like screenshots from your website, user comments, or reviews. Highlights can also be categorized by category.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_photo\"><\/span>Adding a photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to make a highlight, you must have a good photo editing tool or app. The image featured on the cover should have some important elements in the center. Moreover, the image should be attractive and relevant to the highlight. In this guide, we will cover two steps to make an Instagram highlight. First, you need to choose an attractive cover image. You can use the thumbnail image from the highlights story or upload your own photo.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decided on a picture that you want to highlight, open the Instagram app and log in. Select the menu option &#8220;Highlights&#8221; and choose the pictures you wish to add. Once you&#8217;ve selected the images, give it a name and click &#8220;create.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wdOD4wfXJ5w\" height=\"222\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make a Highlight on Instagram With Canva If you have never used Canva to create your Instagram highlight, you are missing out.
