Mastering the Instagram Story Mockup Generator

Instagram Stories are a cornerstone of modern digital storytelling. With our Story Studio, you can design mockups that are indistinguishable from real app screenshots.

How to Use the Story Mockup Tool

1. Customize Profile Info: Start by entering your username and checking the "Verified" box if needed. You can also upload a custom profile picture.

2. Set the Audio: Use the newly added Music Name field. Your text will appear with an animated music wave, giving your mockup a live, dynamic feel.

3. Composition Settings: Define how many segments your story has and which one is currently "active". The progress bars at the top will automatically adjust.

4. Media Control: Upload your background image and use the Media Scale slider in the settings to perfectly crop or fit your content.

Pro Optimization Strategy

Always ensure your background media has high contrast against the white text elements. Our tool automatically adds a top and bottom shadow for maximum readability, just like the official app.
