Customizable Instagram story templates: Edit or create with prompts
Looking for Instagram story templates and coming up short? Instagram's in-app templates are hard to find and harder to make your own. VEED gives you a gallery of video story templates built to be customized. Pick one, tweak the prompt, and swap the people, products, and text for yours. These aren't static graphics. They move, so your story looks like something worth tapping through.
Launching a product, running a promo, or posting a weekly update, you start from a template that already works and make it yours in minutes. Change the on-screen talent, drop in your product, rewrite the copy, then resize and export for Instagram. No design software, no starting from a blank frame. And you can use our full suite of AI tools to create your branded video, ready for your campaigns.

Start from a template: Make it unmistakably yours
Most Instagram story template tools hand you a still design. VEED's templates are video, with motion, timing, and sound already built in. Pick one, then use a prompt to change the talent, product, or scene so it fits your brand. Prefer to feature a presenter without filming? Swap in one of VEED's AI avatars. You get a moving story that looks made for you, not filled in from a stock layout.
Can't find templates in the Instagram app? Browse them here
Instagram's native story templates are buried and limited. Skip the hunt. Browse our gallery, filter for the look you want, and open any template straight into the editor. Add subtitles, swap the background with the video background remover, or change the voice. Everything happens in one place.
Start from a blank story or make your own
Want a neutral starting point? Open any Instagram story template and build from scratch using the prompt, sized for stories from the first frame. Prefer to design a reusable template for your brand? Save your layout, colors, and fonts, then reuse them across every post. Either way, you control the look.
FAQ
An Instagram story template is a pre-built story design you customize instead of creating from scratch. It sets the layout, timing, and style, so you only swap in your own text, images, or video. VEED's templates go further. They're editable videos, so you can change the people, products, and scenes with a prompt and post a story that looks made for your brand.
In the Instagram app, templates are limited and often surface only when you tap the Stories camera or reuse a Reel someone marked as a template. For a full library, you can search and filter; browse VEED's Instagram story templates instead. Pick one, open it in the editor, and start customizing. You get far more choice than the app offers, plus editable video.
Choose a template, edit it, then post. In VEED, open an Instagram story maker template, tweak the prompt to change the elements, then adjust the text, colors, and music. Resize to story dimensions and export, or post directly to Instagram. In the Instagram app, you apply a template from the Stories camera, but you're limited to the app's built-in options.
Open the Stories camera in the Instagram app and look for the Templates option, or tap a Reel labeled as a template to reuse its format. Instagram's search doesn't index a full template gallery, so your options stay limited. To search and filter a large library by style, theme, or use case, browse VEED's template gallery and open any one directly in the editor.
Yes. Build a story once, then save the layout, fonts, and brand colors so you can reuse it as your own template. In VEED, create your story from a template or a blank canvas, brand it, and keep it for the next post. Add music and subtitles once, and your reusable template keeps every story consistent.
Instagram's built-in templates mostly reformat your existing photos into a set layout. Our templates are editable video templates you customize with a prompt. Change the person, swap the product, rewrite the text, then export. You're not limited to the app's handful of options or to still images. The result is a fully branded video story, not a filled-in placeholder design.
