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.
- A PNG at the exact size the platform shows.
- Stories & Reels come in 1080 × 1920, clear of the app's own buttons.
- Two AI designs from your words, logo and colours; preview free, $3.99 for the one you keep.
- 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.
