Instagram Graphic Best Practices
- Use bold, readable fonts โ text must be legible on mobile screens
- Keep text minimal โ 1-2 lines maximum for Posts, 3-4 for Stories
- Use high contrast between text and background for accessibility
- Leave safe margins โ keep important content away from the edges
- Use consistent branding colours across all your posts
- For Stories, keep key content in the middle third โ avoid the top and bottom UI areas
- Square posts (1080ร1080) take up more feed space than landscape posts
