The social network Instagram has become so ingrained in people’s lives that many not only communicate there, but also earn money and run their own businesses. If this is exactly what you prefer to do, then to promote your account, you will definitely need to learn more about some of the features of the application. For example, how to add multiple photos to Instagram stories.
Let’s take a photo on Instagram together
Let’s start with how to turn several Instagram photos into one and immediately post it in your story. Most users have probably heard of the technique called collage.
A collage is an image composed of 3-4 small pictures.
It is still incredibly popular and convenient. You can see the entire process of preparing a restaurant dish at once, for example, without scrolling through a 5-minute post.
You don’t need any skills to create a similar collage, just download a third-party editing tool. Popular ones include:
- Layout;
- FotoCollage.
Both are aimed directly at creating collages and applying filters to them.
For convenience, let’s look separately at how to work in each of them.
Layout:
- Take your mobile device and unlock the screen.
- Launch Layout.
- Read the introductory information.
- Select the desired photos from your device’s gallery by checking them.
- In the upper part, choose the collage model and click on it.
- Edit: mirror, flip images, add a frame and make it thinner or thicker.
- Click “Save” and “Share”.
- Select Instagram from the suggested list.
- Choose “Story”.
- Share the collage in the Instagram app.
FotoCollage:
- Open the FotoCollage app on your phone.
- Edit the pictures if necessary in the “Editing” section. You can add emojis, animal faces, enlarge proportions, add a frame and background, write text, and use a filter.
- Save the changes and go back to the software menu.
- Select “Collage” and check the photos you like.
- Change the position of the pictures, add a frame, update the background to your liking.
- Confirm the changes.
- Scroll down to the “Share” column and click on the Instagram icon.
- Click on “Stories” and publish the post.
Note. In the FotoCollage app, you can create not only a standard collage but also a “freestyle” one.
