Instagram Launches New Content Personaliztion Tools
Instagram just announced a suite of new tools to customize content on their platform. It includes new fonts and animations for things like stories and reels as well as the ability to stuff 20 images into a carousel post that I wrote about recently.
We’re introducing improvements to our creative tools to give you more ways to express yourself and make your content your own:
New fonts, text animations & effects in reels & stories
The ability to add text & stickers to photos & carousels
Increasing carousel limit to be up to 20 photos and videos in a single post
Get creative with new fonts, text animations & effects in reels & stories
We’re adding new and unique fonts, animations and effects in a simplified text tool to reels and stories. Open the text tool and tap on the text button to see the new fonts. Once you select a font, you can animate your text or add an effect – easily mix and match to find a combination that breaks the mold and feels uniquely you.
Customize your photos & carousels by adding text & layering images
You can now add text -- including our newest fonts -- and layer images via stickers, to your photos and carousels. This gives you the creative flexibility to make your content stand out and explore new, more entertaining, storytelling with photos and carousels.
To use the new text tool simply tap on the text button after you select a photo from your gallery. You can layer in additional images by tapping the gallery button in the top right corner of your screen. Tap on the sticker itself to change it from a rectangle to a square, circle, heart or star shape.
Go nuts.
