AI Instagram Story Generator

What gets engagement in Instagram Stories

Three patterns drive replies and DM responses. (1) Polls and quizzes — Instagram weighs interactive sticker engagement 2-3× higher than passive views. (2) Behind-the-scenes content — finished posts polish; stories should feel raw. (3) Direct questions in the text overlay — 'What's your biggest blocker this month?' converts to DMs.

The generator outputs combinations of static text, poll questions, quiz options, and DM-prompting copy. Pick by content type.

Story copy length + placement

Text overlays under 50 characters read in 2-3 seconds — that's all you get before viewers tap through. Keep hooks short. If you need more text, break into 3-4 story slides instead of cramming one.

Place text in the top third or bottom third (middle is where viewers' thumbs land for tap-through). High-contrast text always — light text on light image disappears.

Stories for different goals

Lead gen — Use 'tap link below' or 'DM 'INFO' to messaging' CTAs. Story link stickers (15+ followers) drive direct clicks.

Community — Polls and questions stickers. 'This or that?' formats consistently outperform open-ended questions.

Product launch — 3-5 slide sequence: tease, reveal, demo, social proof, CTA.

Behind-the-scenes — Single shaky-cam video with text overlay explaining what's happening. Counter-polished.
