How Do You Make a Highlight Cover on Instagram Using Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 1:30 pm

As social media becomes more and more visual, it’s important to make sure your posts stand out. One way to do this is by using a highlight cover on Instagram.

Highlight covers are images that appear at the top of your profile, above your grid of photos. They’re a great way to show off your best content, and they’re easy to make with Canva.

To make a highlight cover with Canva, simply sign up for a free account and choose the Instagram Highlight Cover template. From there, you can browse through our library of over 1 million stock photos and illustrations, or upload your own image.

PRO TIP: The following note is a warning to anyone considering using Canva to make a highlight cover on Instagram. Canva is a very user-friendly platform, however, there have been reports of people not being able to download their completed covers. If you are set on using Canva, we recommend saving your work frequently and/or taking screenshots as you go.

Once you’ve found the perfect image, simply add it to your design and resize it to fit the dimensions of your profile. You can then add text, embellishments, or even change the color of your highlight cover to match your brand.

Once you’re happy with your design, simply download it and upload it to Instagram. Your followers will be able to see your highlight covers when they visit your profile, and they’ll be able to click on them to see the corresponding photos or videos.

So if you’re looking for a way to make your Instagram profile more visually appealing, give Canva a try. With our easy-to-use tools and extensive library of resources, you can create beautiful highlight covers that will make your profile stand out from the rest.
