How to make an Instagram post
Sign up for a free trial and start creating right away. Open PicMonkey and select an Instagram post template that you want to customize. We have 100s of layouts and styles to choose from. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also start with a blank canvas.
Swap the template's photos with your own, or browse our gigantic stock library for the right look. Change the size, shape, and colors of an image with easy-to-use editing and effects tools.
Try out various photo effects for an eye-catching look. Replace text with your own words and customize any way you want (give the curve or outline effect a go for some serious pop). Browse graphics and see what might add to your final design.
Download your finished design and upload to Instagram (if you have an IG Business account, learn how to share directly from PicMonkey). If you ever need to make adjustments to your design, it autosaves in our cloud storage.

FAQs about making Instagram posts
How do I make a video post for Instagram?

How do I make an Instagram carousel post?
An Instagram carousel post consists of related photos that your followers swipe to view. You can upload any pics to a single post, but we like those carousel posts that are aesthetically cohesive and tell a story. Use line or paint smudge graphics to tie your posts together.
