Instagram story layout templates with the panels already arranged
An Instagram story layout template is a pre-built design that arranges photos, text, and graphics into a multi-panel story frame you can reuse. VEED's layout templates open in the browser with nothing to download, so the grid, the spacing, and the type hierarchy are already solved before you add anything of your own.
Whether you're posting a product launch, a weekly update, or a behind-the-scenes moment, pick a layout, then swap your photos into the panels and match the colors to your brand. Lift a photo out of its background with the AI background remover so it sits cleanly inside its panel.
How to make an Instagram story layout from a template:
Step 01
Browse templates and pick a story
Explore the gallery of Instagram story templates and choose one that fits your story. Select it to open it in the editor.
Step 02
Edit the template and swap in your elements
Replace the placeholders with your own. Rewrite the copy, drop in your photos, and adjust the colors to match your brand. Edit the prompt to change the artwork while the layout stays put.
Step 03
Resize and post to Instagram
Resize to Instagram story dimensions and export. Download your story, ready to share on Instagram.

Multi-panel layouts, already spaced and aligned
A layout template arrives with its panels, margins, and type scale worked out, so you're not nudging images into a grid by hand. Drop a photo into each panel, edit the prompt to restyle the background or the accent color, and the arrangement holds while the artwork changes around it.
Skip the hunt for Instagram's own layout feature
Instagram's layout sticker is buried inside the story camera tools and limited to a handful of fixed grids, which is why so many people search for how to find or add a layout on their story. VEED's library of Instagram story layout templates is browsable and filterable by style, and every template opens straight into the editor, ready to customize.
One frame or a set that runs together
Open a layout template at story dimensions and build from a prompt if you want a blank start, or save your panel arrangement, colors, and fonts so next week's layout matches this one. A single story frame and a set of frames posted back to back use the same panel system, so a three-part recap reads as one run. Fill an awkward gap with the AI image extender, or take the same grid to the feed with Instagram post templates.
FAQ
An Instagram story layout template is a pre-built design that arranges multiple photos, text, and graphics into one story frame, like a grid, collage, or split-screen panel, so you don't have to build the arrangement from scratch. VEED's Instagram story layout templates go further: the panels, spacing, and type are already set, and a prompt restyles the artwork inside them while the grid holds.
Inside Instagram, you build a layout by adding a photo, tapping the layout sticker, and arranging more images into one of the app's fixed grids before sharing. On VEED, you pick an Instagram story layout template that already has the panels in place, then edit the prompt or swap the photos, text, and colors directly in the editor before you export.
Instagram's layout sticker sits inside the story camera tools, but it only offers a small set of fixed grids and no searchable template library, which is a common frustration people run into. VEED's library of Instagram story layout templates is browsable and filterable by style and occasion, so you can search for a layout, preview it, and open it straight into the editor.
Yes. You are not limited to Instagram's fixed grid options. Start from a blank canvas at story dimensions, arrange your own panels, text, and colors, and build a layout from a prompt or by placing elements directly. Save the finished arrangement, along with your colors and fonts, to a brand kit so you can reuse the same layout for future stories without rebuilding it each time.
Instagram's built-in layout feature is a simple sticker that snaps a few photos into one of a handful of fixed grids, with no styling beyond cropping. VEED's Instagram story layout templates give you a browsable set of arrangements instead, and every panel, photo, and piece of text can be changed through a prompt or directly in the editor.
On VEED, you browse the Instagram story layout templates, choose one that fits your post, and open it in the editor to start customizing. Edit the prompt to change the artwork or the scene, update the text and colors, then resize to Instagram story dimensions, vertical 9:16 at 1080 x 1920 px, and export. Download the finished design, ready to share to your Instagram story.

More than an Instagram story layout template
Start from an Instagram story layout template or generate a fresh multi-panel design from a prompt, then edit the photos and artwork inside the panels you picked. Brand the layout with your logo, colors, and fonts saved to a brand kit, so every panel looks like your feed made it, then resize for stories and every other placement before you export. VEED is an AI image creation platform, and once your layout is set, you can reuse the same panel arrangement for next week's post instead of rebuilding it from a blank grid every time.
