Fitness icon for instagram highlights

I finally updated my Instagram highlight cover icons to make them look pretty and organized. I was surprised to see how many people sent me dm&#;s wanting to know how to create highlight covers. How did I get those cool icons? How did I add the cover photos to the highlights?

So I thought a quick tutorial was in order.

I use an app called Canva to create my Instagram highlight covers. You can also do it from your computer at www.canva.com.

Download the app & open it.

Pick the layout you want.

At the top, you should see choices for different sizes and layouts. Scroll to the right and choose the one that says &#;your story.&#;

You can then choose from one of the many premade layouts, or click the blank one. For this, I chose the blank one.

Background Color

Click on the blank layout and change the background color to whatever you want.

Add some shapes and designs.

Click the + sign in the bottom right corner.
Then click on the &#;graphics&#; button.

I chose two circles, an outlined one, and one filled in that I moved inside of the outline.

Change the transparency

I like the look of having the background more transparent than the object icon. Click on what you want to change and move the transparency down.

Choose your icon graphic

Go back to the graphics and pick your icon. You can type in the search bar what you are looking for or just keep scrolling.

I searched &#;travel&#; and chose an airplane icon to add to my highlight cover photo.

Change the icon color

If you want you can change the icon color. You can&#;t do this with every graphic but if you can it will give the color options when you click on it.

Save your new Instagram highlight cover

Click the &#;share&#; button in the top right corner.

Then choose to &#;save image&#; to your camera roll or &#;copy to Instagram.&#;

Upload it to your Instagram stories.

Go to your profile. Hold your finger down on the highlight you want to add it too.

Click &#;edit highlight.&#;

In the top right corner go to &#;archive.&#; This will show all the posts in your stories from the past 24hrs.

Make sure there is a check mark on the ones you want to add.

Click &#;edit cover&#; and choose the photo you want to use there.

Tada, you did it! You now have pretty, organized Instagram highlight cover icons to make your page stand out.

I hope this was helpful. I can&#;t wait to see your highlights. Tag me @runlikekale when you update your stories.

3. Add a graphic icon and customize

Open the Graphics tab on the left panel to choose from our collection of thousands of icons, or click Add image on the top toolbar to add your own icon (we do accept SVG files, and you can edit their colors after uploading!).

Once you've added a graphic to your canvas, the Graphic Tools menu will open. From there, it's customization time.

Design custom highlight covers that reflect your brand

The cool thing about custom highlight covers is that they can bring your unique branding to your Instagram. In the mood board above you can see the company’s logo, colors, fonts, etc. that inform the design and grid layout of its Instagram page.

Now for some design inspo.

Instagram Highlight cover design inspo

Make a statement with outlined text

The @i_weigh account uses outlined text in their highlights about not being ashamed. It’s a powerful statement and the text treatment helps to highlight that. The image stays on-brand by using the same pink as the other highlight covers.

Get the look in PicMonkey: Highlight your text. From the Text Tools menu, click on Shadow & outline, then add an outline.Play around with the sliders until you've got the look you want.

Go for drama with a drop shadow

On Bumble's account they have a variety of uniquely branded highlight covers. We’d like to draw your attention to the one labeled “First Moves!” The text has not one, not two, but three drop shadows which help give it a sense of movement.

Get the look in PicMonkey: Click your text layer. Find Shadow & outline on the Text Tools menu. Add a drop shadow. Make sure your Horizontal blur slider is turned to zero. Duplicate that text and change the colors of the text and the drop shadow. Get the two text elements lined up slightly off-center and you've got it. Italicize both text elements for some extra movement.

Delight with funky designs

On our IG page (ohheygurl, give us a follow @picmonkey) we’ve got subtle design elements going on right underneath our text. They’re only slightly darker than the background so they add interest without distracting from the copy.

Get the look in PicMonkey: From the Graphic Tools tab, head to the Design category to find oodles of tasteful, interesting elements. Place them slightly off-center from your text, and use the Eyedropper to turn your graphic(s) the exact same color as your background. Then click on your background and change its color to a slightly darker shade of the same color. Voila!

Mask text and graphics for a beautiful, dimensional look

Masking is when an image peeks through another image or text. It’s a quick and easy way to immediately add visual interest, like the State of Alaska Tourism Office did on their Instagram page.

Get the look in PicMonkey: Add your text and graphic elements to your canvas and arrange them how you want them to look. Select all layers of your design and use the Textures tab to apply one texture to the entire design. Your end result: Glorious cohesion.

Pump up the party with some ombre

Betches also used a mask over their Instagram highlight cover icons, but theirs is Ombré and it’s fabulous. The beautiful rainbow of colors really pops off that simple black background.

Get the look in PicMonkey: Highlight your text or icon (whatever element you’re using) and head to the Effects tab. Scroll down to Ombré and select your colors. Adjust the Direction and Fade sliders and boom, showtime baby!

Stand out with bold icons

Netflix is keeping things simple by sticking with their red and black brand colors for bold Insta Highlight covers.

Get the look in PicMonkey: Stick with a dark, rich background color and keep any of your chosen icons a clean white.
