How to Change Background in Your Instagram Stories (3 Ways)

  • To make your Instagram stories more appealing, you can change the background. Swap it with a solid or gradient background.
  • If you are creating content and reaction videos you can use the In-built Green Screen feature of Instagram.

Is this picture okay? Is this aesthetic enough? What if the background is terrible? These are the thoughts that haunt us every time we try to upload anything on Instagram. Even the images posted with the tags unfiltered are the most filtered. No one wakes up looking that pretty. So make sure you are free from the norms of Instagram Clout.

Having said this, you do not have to upload an image of your friend photobombing you. You can remove the details that are not photo material, not the beauty but the bad background and people. So, in this article, you will learn how to change your image’s background for Instagram.

Instagram Stories – Far from Reality

We make sure that whatever we post on Instagram is always pleasing to the eye. I myself have spent hours trying to post a decent update. Though I am not really into it, most people are invested in it. Instagram is one of the top-paying platforms, and people are promoting their brands and products on it.

Removing Background Entirely

If you want to post an image and you want to remove the background then you can use tools like Remove.Bg or PicsArt and Adobe. These tools work great; you only need to upload your image, and you get the desired results. Furthermore, you can also use the image cutout feature, which is built into most phones today. Simply have to touch and hold an image, and it will create your Image cutout, removing the background.
