About StoryLab - Story Maker
StoryLab - Story Maker is an Instagram story editor that transforms how you create photo and video content for Instagram and Snapchat. Design stunning stories, posts, and highlight covers in minutes using a massive library of templates or start from scratch on a blank canvas.
The app includes over 1,300 Instagram story templates, 1,000+ feed post designs, 170+ animated stories, and 400+ highlight cover icons—all ready to customize. Whether you need static stories, animated content, or feed posts, you'll find templates in multiple styles including classic film, Japanese aesthetics, minimal, and trending designs. Both 9:16 story and 1:1 post formats are supported, so your content fits Instagram and Snapchat perfectly.
Customization is straightforward. Select a template or work on an empty canvas, then add your photos or videos from your camera roll. Edit with over 200 filters and effects including Lightroom and VSCO presets, light leak overlays, and color pop filters to match your aesthetic. The text editor offers 100+ fonts—handwriting styles, watercolor textures, and glitter effects—with spacing and alignment tools so your words look polished. Position and scale elements with one finger to fine-tune your design exactly how you want it.
Decorate with personality using 2,000+ stickers in fashion, retro, and themed styles that range from trendy aesthetics to elegant looks. Add texture overlays and brushes to create that Kirakira shimmer or signature artistic touch. Choose from dozens of high-quality backgrounds and texture patterns, or use the color picker to match your mood and palette.
Animated stories get their own spotlight—use preset animated templates for minimal and film styles, or layer text animations like the shop swipe effect to design your own. The editor handles both static and animated content seamlessly, so you can experiment with movement and capture attention on the feed.
Once your design is complete, export and share directly to Instagram Stories or Snapchat with a single tap. StoryLab makes it simple to create aesthetic Instagram content that stands out, whether you're building a cohesive feed, crafting highlight covers, or making animated posts that hook your audience. Download StoryLab - Story Maker today and start designing stories that tell your narrative.
