Instagram has introduced a feature allowing you to effortlessly add text to your photos. Moreover, you can overlay a picture onto another as a sticker, and this feature extends to carousel posts as well.
The photo and video sharing platform says that these “creative tools will give you more flexibility to express yourself and ideas in your own unique way, no matter which format you use.”
Here’s how to use the new feature: Once you’ve chosen a photo from your gallery, tap the text button to insert text, or hit the gallery button in the top right to add more images as stickers. To change the shape of a sticker, just tap on it and select from a rectangle, square, circle, heart, or star.
In addition, Instagram has introduced new and unique fonts, animations, and effects within a streamlined text tool for reels and stories.
To access the new fonts, open the text tool and click on the text button. After selecting a font, you have the option to animate your text or apply an effect.
Furthermore, earlier this month, the company increased the carousel limit to be up to 20 photos and videos in a single post. To create longer carousels, click on Post and then select up to 20 photos and videos.
