Portrait posts and carousels: pick a design

A portrait post (4:5) fills more of the phone screen than a square one, so it gets more attention as people scroll. These templates are made for that shape: a carousel cover with a clear first line, a fact card, a daily checklist, a promotion.

Tips for portrait posts and carousels

Questions

What size is a portrait Instagram post?
A portrait post is 1080 × 1350 pixels (4:5), the tallest size Instagram shows in the feed without cropping.
Is portrait better than square?
It takes more space in the feed, so it is often more eye-catching. Square is fine for quotes and simple messages.
Are these portrait post templates free?
Yes. You can open them, change them and save your design for free, with no watermark. A few tools carry a PRO tag, which is free for now.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Open a template in Nova Studio and start. Your design is kept on your own device.
Can I change the words, colours and pictures?
Yes. Everything in a template is a normal layer. Tap any text to change the words, font and colour, change shapes and colours, and add your own photo as a layer.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Nova Studio is built for phones. Open a template, tap the text you want to change and save the picture to your gallery.
