Making your event story work

An event story reminds followers about tonight's gig, this weekend's market or tomorrow's class, at the moment they are planning. Stories disappear in a day, which suits events that are coming up soon.

What to write on it

  • The event as the headline, such as Live Music Friday.
  • Who or what is on, and the start time.
  • The entry price, or that it is free.

One tip

Keep the text in the middle of the frame. The top and bottom of a story are covered by the app's own bars, and this design already keeps clear of them. Post a second story an hour before doors open as a last reminder.

What you get

  • Made at 1080 × 1920 px.

  • Stories & Reels come in 1080 × 1920, clear of the app's own buttons.

What size is an event story?
1080 × 1920 pixels, the full-screen 9:16 frame used by Instagram and Facebook stories.
Can I add a link sticker to the story?
Yes, add it in the app when you post, and place it over a plain area of the design so it does not hide the words.
