AI story generator, step by step
Ask for stories
Write what you need - "three stories announcing Friday's offer" - or ask for posts and stories together, and they are made as items in a plan. For a single story, choose Tall 9:16, tagged Instagram Story, in Configuration.
Review the plan
Each Story 9:16 item has a title and the text that goes with it. Remove any you don't need and check the credits.
Make and download
Press Make all. To bring a story to exactly 1080 × 1920 with its words inside the safe area, choose Generate for social media in its menu. Then download each story, or all of them as a zip, and post them.
Built for the full screen
A story fills the phone from top to bottom. In a plan, a story is a 9:16 picture, made like any other; on its own, choose Tall 9:16 in Configuration, tagged Instagram Story, Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, for a 864 × 1536 picture.
Clear of the buttons and bars
Stories carry the app's own interface on top: the account name and progress bar at the top, the reply box and buttons at the bottom. Generate for social media, in a picture's menu, makes it again at exactly 1080 × 1920 and keeps every word and the logo 8% from the sides and 14% from the top and bottom, so nothing important sits underneath them.
Stories as part of a campaign
Stories are rarely made alone. Ask for a launch - feed posts and stories - and they arrive in one plan, with the text for each story written alongside it.
On-brand stories
Add your brand with its @username and each story follows its colours, fonts and style. Your real logo is placed on it, never drawn by the AI.
