How it works
- Open the Reels Cover format so the canvas matches Instagram’s vertical spec.
- Pick a text-led or image-hero template and edit title, subtitle, and brand slots.
- Preview with safe top and bottom margins, then export PNG for your Reel.
Best practices
- Keep the headline short. Viewers see covers at small sizes in the grid.
- Leave breathing room at the top and bottom for platform UI and crops.
- Use high contrast between text and background for dark and light feeds.
- Image-hero templates work when the visual carries the hook; center-text when copy leads.
