InShot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you sick of cropping your images and videos to fit in the vertical aspect ratio of Instagram stories? Well, there is a solution to it. The InShot app. This app allows users to modify the ratio of videos and images to conveniently add them to Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, the app creates a new video of 9:16 ratio for Instagram Stories. You just import the original video. And then decide if you want to keep its original ratio or modify it into the ratio of your choice. If the video has excess space, you can fill it up with gradient or solid color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of this app, you can be more creative when making videos. You can add various elements like GIFs, emojis, or text to your videos. What\u2019s even better is that you can edit the video within the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add effects or filters to make your Instagram Stories even more attractive and appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>InShot is available for both <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/inshot-video-editor-music-no-crop-cut\/id997362197?ign-mpt=uo%3D8\" target=\"_blank\">iOS<\/a>&nbsp;and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.camerasideas.instashot\" target=\"_blank\">Android<\/a>&nbsp;users, and you can download it for free.

It\u2019s a web-based graphic design tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This web-based tool has three plans to choose from. The first one is the basic plan, which is free for an individual. But the basic plan comes with a very limited number of features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second and third plans are called Plus and Edge, respectively. These are paid versions of the tool which come with many advanced features that aren\u2019t available in the Basic plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best features of this tool is that it has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/about.easil.com\/templates\/social-media\/instagram-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\">templates<\/a>&nbsp;suitable for any kind of Story. The tool also provides a large pool of template types to its users to select from. And the templates are very easy to use, as users just have to drag-and-drop the templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be able to change the pictures, text, or color scheme to match with your Story. And the results are amazing as you can produce a branded Instagram Story that\u2019s fun to watch and engaging for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easil is a desktop tool, so you need to download the templates you want to use and save them in Dropbox. It is that simple.<br> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1164\" height=\"651\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15439 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/pasted-image-0-9.png\" alt=\"enhance-instagram-stories-easil.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1164px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1164\/651;\"><br> Image Source &#8211; Easil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
