Instagram specifics
- Sizes: 1080×1080 (square) or 1080×1350 (portrait). Keep the headline inside safe margins.
- Hooks: 2–5 words. Use condensed bold fonts and slight letter‑spacing for compact readability.
- Faces first: do not cover eyes; place text behind the subject with a thin stroke for separation.
Troubleshooting
- Headline blends into the background: increase contrast or add a thin stroke; nudge to a darker area.
- Too busy: shorten the hook; increase spacing; avoid overlapping facial features and product edges.
- Cropped on feed: bring text inward from edges; verify on a phone preview.
