We all want our Instagram stories to stand out from the rest, right? Many businesses find it hard to create Instagram Stories because they don’t have the time. These 4 tools can make your stories unique by adding awesome features that will allow you to go beyond just using the Instagram features already within the app.

Easil’s Stories Templates

Whether you’re using Instagram Stories for behind the scenes content, fan photos, product announcements, or breaking news, Easil offers you a wide range of templates that can easily edit and personalize. The design platform is similar to Canva’s desktop-based ‘drag-n-drop’ concept. But the biggest difference is that no premium elements or in-template purchases are tucked into their standard designs. Instead, Easil is free to use, and they’ll even gift you a free 30 day upgrade to our Plus plan (no credit card required) – just click here.
