How to Edit an Instagram Stories Product Template in Photoshop
Source-checked · About 10 minutes
Answer
Duplicate the licensed PSD, replace its Smart Objects and text, keep product details inside safe margins, and export each Story panel in sequence after checking the current Instagram format requirements.
Keep the downloaded PSD, license, readme, fonts, and linked assets together, then create a separate working copy for your campaign.
2
Review the document structure
Open the working PSD and inspect Layers, Artboards, and any instructions. Identify Smart Objects, editable text, linked assets, and panel names before hiding or deleting anything.
Open each intended Smart Object, insert an image you own or may use, fit it without distortion, save the object, and check the main composition.
4
Update text and calls to action
Replace placeholders with accurate product copy, use licensed fonts, and keep text away from top and bottom interface areas that can cover a Story.
5
Check every panel
Review the sequence at actual size for spelling, prices or claims that may become stale, contrast, alignment, and consistent product identity.
6
Confirm mobile safe areas
Preview each panel at phone size and leave breathing room for the profile header, reply field, captions, and platform buttons. Move important product names and calls to action inward rather than relying on an old overlay guide.
7
Export and test the files
Export panels in the required still-image format and order, transfer them without recompression where possible, and preview the files on a phone before posting.
