You can choose any date range and choose whichever stories you&#8217;d like to highlight. Then, choose a cover and write some content to add to your highlight.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canva\"><\/span>Canva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a newbie to graphic design and want to know how to create highlights for your Instagram stories, Canva is the answer! They&#8217;ve got an incredible selection of free templates and designs, including Instagram story covers. To create a highlight cover, just sign in to your Canva account and select an appropriate template. From there, you can add an icon and customize the background. You can also upload your own image or use the Canva templates.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re just starting out, you can download Canva&#8217;s highlight cover template and add your own photos and icons. Canva is a free app that allows you to use a variety of icon and background colors. And if you&#8217;re a pro, you&#8217;ll have access to even more. Highlight covers can be customized with multiple colors and emojis, and you can even use custom dimensions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canva_for_Instagram\"><\/span>Canva for Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add multiple images to your highlights in Canva. Adding these highlights to your profile will give your account a boost! To make your Instagram account look professional, you can use a Highlight Cover to attract attention. The process is surprisingly easy &#8211; and you can use templates in Canva that are easy to customize. Follow the tutorial below to get started! Then, create and upload your own Instagram Highlights!<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created a cover, you can add text and images. You can create multiple covers with the same background and save them to your phone&#8217;s gallery. You can also edit and save the images using Canva. You can even change the background colour of your Instagram covers. You can also resize them if necessary. You can even download your covers as high-resolution files! Once you&#8217;ve uploaded your Highlights, you can share them with your followers using your Cover.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_custom_highlight_cover\"><\/span>Creating a custom highlight cover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to make a custom Instagram highlight cover is to use a graphic design tool like Canva. This tool makes it easy to design graphics for social media, such as Instagram highlight covers. To create your own custom highlight cover, you&#8217;ll need a Canva account and a few design elements. The free account comes with enough design elements for a simple cover, but if you want more advanced features, you can upgrade to a paid account. From the Canva homepage, click on Create a Design and choose Instagram Highlight Cover. Once you&#8217;ve made your cover, you can upload your images and add text.<\/p>\n<p>The most common mistake newcomers make is creating a cover that is too complex and complicated. Instead, make your highlight cover look simple and straightforward. This will help you organise your content better and maintain a cohesive brand identity. For example, the @i_weigh account uses pink for its highlights, so it&#8217;s a great way to create a highlight that is both attention-grabbing and eye-catching.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_content_to_highlights\"><\/span>Adding content to highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding content to highlights on Instagram can make it easier for followers to discover information about your products or services. Whether your posts are product reviews, photoshoots, or company news, highlights on Instagram allow you to direct viewers to your website or newsletter. Using Instagram Stories stickers, you can promote new products and engage followers with creative content. Below are some tips for adding content to highlights on Instagram:<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure that you have at least one active story in your Highlights album. If you have more than one active story, create a new one and add it to the highlights album. Always make sure to name your stories under 10 characters. The latest story will be the first video\/image on your Highlight album. Adding content to highlights on Instagram should be done in reverse order. The most recent highlights should be at the top.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wdOD4wfXJ5w\" width=\"402\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"225\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Create Highlights on Instagram With Canva Creating an Instagram highlight is simple.
