Social Story Template

A social story template is a ready-made layout for the story format used on platforms like Instagram or Facebook. It comes with the text boxes, image placeholders, and proportions already set, which saves effort and keeps your posts looking consistent. You personalize the details and download the finished design.

Use it whenever you post a story for a brand, event, or personal account. Whether you post daily or only occasionally, the template fits both. You open it, swap in your image and text, and download a clean, finished version whenever you need one.

At minimum it covers a background or image area, a headline or caption, and a call-to-action such as a link or swipe-up prompt. Each part is laid out for you, so you focus on the content rather than the sizing, and the finished story stays clear and on-brand.

Social media managers, small business owners, and individual creators benefit most from it. Whether you post often or rarely, the template saves time and keeps your feed consistent. Because it is easy to adapt, people with no design experience can produce a polished story just as confidently as regular users.

Most platforms use a vertical, full-screen ratio close to 9:16, built for phone screens. Our template is set up in that proportion, so your text and images stay within safe margins and nothing gets cropped when the story is viewed or shared across different devices.

Yes. Keep the layout and simply swap the image, headline, and call-to-action for each new campaign or announcement. This keeps your stories recognizable while saving you from rebuilding the design every time. Our template makes it easy to duplicate and adjust in the OnlyDoc editor.

Once you have finished editing in the OnlyDoc editor, you can export your social story as PDF, DOC, XLSX, PPTX, JPG, or PNG. That gives you a file ready to upload, a printable copy, and an editable version you can update later if the campaign changes.
