Facebook Story Maker
On Facebook, the story fills the whole phone screen for a few seconds — followers tap through unless it stops them, on the page header, in the feed and in groups. Open the Studio from here and Social Media Post Generator is preset for a Facebook story at 9:16 · 1080×1920; type the words, drop the photo if the tool takes one, run.
Facebook audiences respond to a Facebook story that is friendly, clear and easy to read in a busy feed, so that is where the preset starts. Every result lands in your rail, where a Facebook story can be edited with a sentence, reframed for another platform, upscaled or animated without starting over.
What this fixes
- Your Facebook story graphics have text hidden under the reply bar
- You need a Facebook story image every day and design time every week
- The Facebook story looks nothing like the feed post it links to
- Text on your Facebook story is unreadable over a busy photo

Reframe for PlatformQuestions
Why is the top and bottom of the Facebook story left clear?
Facebook draws its own profile bar and reply box over the top and bottom 12% of a story, so the tool keeps Facebook story text out of those bands and it reads on every phone.
Which size does the Facebook story come out at?
9:16 · 1080×1920 — the Facebook story tool is locked to that ratio; use Reframe on the result for any other platform.
Is the Facebook story free to make?
Every new account gets 4 free credits — one Standard run of the Facebook story tool. A Facebook story rendered from text costs 2 credits; from a photo, 4. Plans start at $15 for 1,000 credits and packs at $4.99 once the Facebook story is a habit.
