If you’re exporting a single page, you can export that page directly from Unfold to Instagram, providing direct access to your Stories portal. In the top right corner, tap the downward arrow and tap Page to save the current page or Story to save the entire story. Once you’ve finished all your creating, you can quickly export either the current page or the entire Story for sharing.

Unfold recently received the ability to upload your own custom fonts thanks to the feature addition in iOS 13. Tapping a grey square opens up your photos to populate the page (if you’re choosing multiple images for the page, you can select all the photos you want in the page in one go, and then move around after all the images have been populated.) Tapping a text box allows you to edit the text, and buttons above the keyboard enable you to change the font, font size, color, and more. Once chosen, the template will provide big grey squares or default text boxes ready for your customization. Though more is unlocked when you up the ante to Unfold+, there are still plenty of options for customizing each page of your Story.įirst, tap the big + button to choose your template.

Get Our Best Photography Tips & Workflows The simple Clasico templates are what drew me into the app at the very start, and there are so many more options to explore. Long story short, Unfold’s template options appear to be second to none. Unfold+ - the app’s subscription option - unlocks all templates across the board, providing a plethora of options to build out your stories. There are a whole host of template options in Unfold’s store and/or Unfold+. Film Frames especially provides an instant retro feel to your Stories.

I’m particularly fond of Clasico templates - they’re simple and elegant, have a wide variety of text and photo combinations, and have generic white backgrounds that fit the look I’m often going for. Once created and named, you can tap + again to choose from a wide variety of Unfold’s templates. To start, you simply need to hit the giant + button at the bottom of the app to create a new Instagram Story. Unfold’s templates verge on being extra-curated, but there are a range of templates that are simple, elegant, and precise, showcasing your photography in an attractive way. Unfold’s simple-to-use and beautiful-to-look-at templates have helped hover that middle line. Because, of course, I want to get those views. I don’t have the time (or the skill) to create a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it feature film, nor do I want to my Instagram Stories to look like everyone else’s Stories.

We’ll likely prepare an over-arching review of all the best Instagram Stories creation apps in the semi-near future.
After what feels like forever, there still aren’t a variety of other Instagram Stories apps that meet or exceed Unfold.

All I was met with were a variety of apps that didn’t look up to snuff, or apps like Adobe Spark, which appeared to be way more powerful than what I was looking for. I went searching for other Instagram Stories apps the other day, with the hope of finding something new and fresh to spice up my Instagram feed. It’s probably best to put that out there, up front. It’s probably somewhat disingenuous to state I’m “trying” Unfold for the first time, as I’ve used Unfold for Instagram Stories creation for a couple years at this point.
