Instagram Stories live for 24 hours. They’re watched for a couple of seconds. The chances of someone pausing for a longer look is minimal. Because there’s always the promise of something better a tap away. So you have to make those seconds count. Especially if you want followers to click through to the next chapter of your story. Or come back for future Stories. Picsart can’t make you an Insta influencer, but it can give you the tools to create the best content possible. Using the Picsart Instagram Story Maker, you can find a template layout to work from and edit it to fit your signature style. Add effects, stickers, text in a variety of fonts, have fun with backgrounds, and much more. Go beyond the limits of the Instagram app. Create Stories your followers will come back to, again and again.
