Instagram Stories

Announce your album with an image ready to post.

Create a story

The day after the event, athletes look for their photos on Instagram. In one tap you create the image to announce your album: a photo from the event, the race name, the short link to buy and your username. You download it, post it as a story and paste the link as a sticker.

How it works

Once your album is published, the generator builds an image to announce it: the album cover, the event name, a call to action, the short link to buy, your username and the ZebraSnap logo. You don't have to design anything; if you want, you can adjust it.

The story generator
Your story, ready to download.

Create your story

  1. Open your published album. Press Share and choose Instagram Story.
  2. Check the image. It already has the album cover, the event name and your link.
  3. Download it. Press Download. The album's short link is copied to your clipboard.
  4. Post it on Instagram. Upload the image as a story, add a link sticker and paste the link.
Instagram Story in Share
The generator is in Share, inside your album.

Tip. Post the story on the day of the event. That is when the most athletes are looking for their photos.
