Add your finishing touches in the editor

Generated Story visuals are images, not layered templates with separately editable fonts and layouts. Download the result and import it into Photo Editor to add text or design elements. You can also explore AI Image Enhancer, Color Picker, Background Changer, or fonts as separate editing tools.

Choose the workflow that fits your Story

Use AI Playground to explore generated Story images and refine the prompt when you want another version. If you need a template-based approach, customize Instagram Story templates instead. Check branding, wording, and crop before you post.
