Are these stories the right size?

You can generate large vertical images and crop them to 9:16 story format when uploading to Instagram.

Can I add my own text over them?

Yes. Use Instagram’s text tools or a design app to add titles, captions, and calls to action.

How do Stories fit with carousels?

Ship the carousel cover first, then reuse the same color mood in a quieter Story background so viewers who swipe up or tap through still recognize the campaign.
