Designing a story mockup

Stories fill a 1080 × 1920 screen, so use a vertical image for the background. Keep text and important details away from the top and bottom edges, where the profile bar and reply field sit.

The mockup includes the progress bar, profile row, and message bar, so it looks like the real app in presentations and prototypes.

Responsible use

Nothing is posted to Instagram. Mockups are for presentations, tutorials, design reviews, and parody. Do not use them to impersonate real people, mislead anyone, or create fake evidence.

Common uses

Campaign previews
Show how a story ad or announcement will look.
Design reviews
Check text placement against the app's overlays.
Teaching
Explain story features in a course or workshop.
Prototypes
Add realistic stories to app designs.
