2024 New Instagram Highlight Cover Format! | Easy & Free Canva Tutorial

[@ne2952]

Can anyone tell me how to change it back to the round layout? I hate that new layout it’s so big and takes over the whole profile 😭 I don’t like it at all! And it bothers me that I have it and most people I follow don’t! Why’s that?!

[@BabySleepMusicmaker]

Following. It's ugly

No, I don't have it yet, Thanks for the update

[@ethelmba2707]

I don't have it yet, but it's good to be informed so I will be prepared. Thanks for sharing.

[@krysiap]

Not yet, but I like to be ahead of the game 😊

[@dseppelfrick]

I finally set up my Instagram with the old highlight covers. I’ll create the new larger highlight covers soon. Enjoyed your explanation on how to do it.😊

[@TeamRonDi]

Thanks, I’m glad you did

[@ivanfrailegisbert]

Just would be great to mention a the very beginning of the video that the New Highlight rectangle dimensions are 908x1358 px !!!

[@SylenisCrafts]

God thank you so much, that was all I was looking for.

[@krisk5119]

Awesome update! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@TeamRonDi]

You are so welcome, Kris

[@NinaBesteMeditation]

They changed on my account, I was wondering why 😅 Thank you 🙏

[@TeamRonDi]

You're welcome!

[@LazyUni]

Wow! This Is awesome! Please keep making theese types of videos! Just a question, is this feature in beta?

[@TeamRonDi]

Thanks!! I’m not sure about that, I suppose… as it hasn’t been released to all users yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tach4473]

Could you please make a video teaching us how to be organized in Canva? All my projects and uploaded images are just mess 😅 thank you!😊

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi! We have such a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5yTY6tqrdNjpqssi=qZJh2cZ0g6XmXhkM

[@monicab28]

Mine are still the round ones. I like the new ones better!

[@AliciaJonestv]

Thank you so much!

[@romanvasiura6705]

Thank you 😃

[@TeamRonDi]

You're welcome buddy

[@jordivoss511]

Podrías subtitular tus vídeos en español. You'll gain digital traffic exponentially. Congratulations, for your contain. 😁

[@AllBrightColors]

Or if they just made a Spanish channel that translated the audio.

[@TeamRonDi]

Estamos trabajando en esa solución para traducirlos pero todavía no sabemos cómo hacerlo sin que sea una carga de trabajo -extra- muy loca. Tengo este otro canal en español, aunque no publico tanto como acá, estoy segura te puede servir youtube.com/@dianamunoztv

[@YokoFuongAnh]

I did not see anyone with this new feature. You are probably in beta testing

[@TeamRonDi]

Instagram might be testing this feature in Spain as I see it in accounts from people I know are located in this country 👀

[@YokoFuongAnh]

@@TeamRonDi Yes you might be right. I am based in Europe/ denmark and non of my US clients or accounts I follow have this feature. Spain is definitely beta testing country right now.

[@zuzuokata]

What does it mean ‘beta testing’? I live in Spain and am experiencing this too, the change of the shape of the story highlights. 🤔

[@YokoFuongAnh]

@@zuzuokata it means that it is ruled out to selected countries only such as Spain. I have not see this on US, UK or other European accounts yet. Meta is testing this to see the feedback from people etc.

[@waynecordingley4157]

canva needs to be able to type the size of the rectangle instead of moving corner up and down to get the size 68x281. next to impossible to get exact size

[@krysiap]

Make a second box then click on one of them, go to Position, Advanced, input W68 and H281 and lock them 🔒 You now have a rectangle of the right size. You can erase both shapes once your margins are set.

[@TeamRonDi]

That’d be a great feature to have, indeed 😊

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Sorry but what is a highlight cover. Just to set up a branding color theme? But then someone can't see the reel? My apologies just learning about Instagram.

[@GypsiesandInk]

I was also wondering what is this for?

[@AllBrightColors]

[@TeamRonDi]

No worries, here's an article that I think will answer your questions: about.instagram.com/blog/announcements/introducing-stories-highlights-and-stories-archive

[@tchip-bc1gp]

Hello , is there anyway to put old format highlights ?

[@TeamRonDi]

I don't think so 🤔

[@tchip-bc1gp]

thanks :)@@TeamRonDi

[@elaineyoung9340]

Do you know the dimensions for the old Instagram covers?

[@TeamRonDi]

Your Instagram Story highlight cover should be 1080 x 1920 pixels with a 9:16 aspect ratio. Some people also create them as 1080x1080 but I’d recommend the first one as there’s this new version currently being released

[@littlemercury]

a 4:5 aspect ratio right?

[@TeamRonDi]

Yes! Just be careful because a little section in the laterals might end up being cropped when you upload them to Instagram.

[@badjoeyx]

how do i access the new update? my highlight still show as circles.

[@TeamRonDi]

I suppose they released it in certain locales first as I already see it in many accounts from people in Spain (at least). I don’t know if it’s possible to access it on your own 🤔

[@camerachica73]

@@TeamRonDi Yes the new update looked terrible in Spain last week, but today I notice they've tried to do something to fit the text into the new shape. They haven't changed the shape of the URL desktop version though - they're still circles.

[@blackcid]

I had rectangles and now I have circles. I don't know if they haver removed this rectangles or what.,
