What Instories is

Instories is a template-driven design tool for social formats. It provides ready-made animated layouts for stories, short video, promotions and e-commerce posts, so a team does not start from a blank canvas each time.

It can also help turn longer material into short social content.

FAQ

Is it for image design or video?

It is oriented to mobile and animated design, suited to stories, short video and social promotion.

Can it turn long video into shorts?

It can help, but topic selection, rhythm and key fragments still need the creator's judgment.

What should brand teams watch?

Unify fonts, colours, logo use and material authorization so templates do not fragment the brand.
