We start with the different tools & applications that allow you to produce better images or videos. The good photos and videos are the raw material of communication on Instagram. Activeig allows you to get instant Instagram followers, likes and shares.
Classic posts & Instagram stories are too important right now but don’t necessarily require the same care and offer the same functionality. Dedicated tools & apps will be available for these two types of content.

There is no doubt that Canva is a must-have tool for designing good images for free. You may have already heard about it; it is an online tool accessible from a computer or a smartphone, listing all of the most common visual dimensions on social networks, and including Instagram posts & stories. After clicking on the “Instagram Posts” design template, you will be taken to a screen allowing you to produce your image in multiple ways:

- By adding text, shapes, background color, your own images, or visuals from the tool’s free & premium items.
In both cases, once your visual is ready, all you have to do is click on the “Download” button.
You will be offered different types of files, namely:
