How to Create a Cohesive Instagram Feed

The secret to a professional-looking feed: consistency. Here's how.

1. Choose a Color Palette

Pick 3-5 colors that represent your brand. Warm tones (earth, orange, gold) or cool tones (blue, teal, grey). Stick to them in every post.

2. Use the Same Filter/Preset

Apply the same preset to every photo. Our templates page has 12 curated presets — pick one and commit. Consistency > variety.

3. Plan Your Grid

Use a grid planner app or just preview before posting. Alternate between close-ups and wide shots. Mix content types but keep the color palette.

4. Consistent Borders

Either all borderless (edge-to-edge) or all with white borders. Mixing looks messy. Our editor can add consistent borders to every photo.

5. Same Overlay Style

If you use overlays (timestamp, aura, grain), use the same style + position on every post. This becomes your visual signature.

6. Match Brightness Levels

If one photo is dark and moody, the next shouldn't be bright and airy. Use our auto-edit to normalize brightness across photos.

7. Create Templates for Stories

Use our social media templates for consistent story dimensions. Same font, same colors, same layout every time.
