How to Add Custom Instagram Fonts to Instagram Stories
There are two main ways how you can add customized fonts to your Instagram stories.
Option 1: Use a Graphic Desing App
You can use apps like Over or Canva as both apps offer wide variety of fonts and an option to upload your custom font too.
We decided to use an Over app: Open the app, choose "+" to create. Choose a transparent background and size of the Instagram story.
Add Text
Click on "text" and choose a font you would like to use. You can also add your custom font.
Export to camera roll.
Copy Paste
Go to your camera roll, copy the image, and paste it into your Instagram Stories by selecting the Text tool and holding the screen for 2-3 seconds until the Paste button appears.Ā
Option 2: Use an Instagram Stories Template
You can use Instagram Stories Templates which are pre-made by designers. If you donāt have an eye for what fonts, colors, and layouts go well together, Instagram Stories templates are a great option for you. Here are the top 8 apps for Instagram Stories.
