15+ of the BEST Instagram GIFs for Your Stories
I take it you want to upgrade your stories to another level. My opinion is the key to success for a great Instagram story is consistency, branding, and a strong voice that keeps people coming back. Do I do all of these all the time, no? But here's the thing, when I do do them, I see higher success, better engagement, and overall it just produces a more unique experience for my followers.
So, I've spent some time finding in the prettiest GIF collections for your Instagram stories to elevate your story game. Also, I will be creating more blog posts to help you elevate your game. Mostly because I feel like education should be free.
In order for you to find all these GIFs, you’ll have to make sure that you type in the phrase with no spacing. I’d also like to add that you can also search for gifs with emojis.
I mega dumped at the end some more gifs I found and will be updating shortly.
LizMosley
First one on my list is one by LizMosley. these stickers are super cute, they're very clean, and also mention days of the week so it's perfect for When you want to show up an agenda.
Ohlalalita
Another clean brand is Olalalita, these little GIFs are perfect if you’re into that high school like fonts, lines, and shapes. I like it for bright bold photos as it adds a light touch to it.
Greendotori
Similar to the GIF collection above, greedotori is a collection of GIF shapes. Super delicate and perfect for small accent marks on your Instagram stories.
Simple
Ironically, this collection of GIFs is also very, well, simple. It’s small delicate shapes, flowers, thin lines all ready to be added to your stories when you wanna add a GIF but you’re not sure.
Mikyla
What I love above all else in Mikyla is the boldness of the shape in pastel colors. It’s a total oxymoron but once you see it you’ll know what I mean.
Lines
I love adding lines to my stories, I’ve tried drawing them myself but my skill is in writing not accidentally perfect lines. These just make my life a lot easier.
LizaProch
I would best describe this aesthetic as kinda Wes Anderson inspired. The colors definitely fit his films, they’re kinda 70s kinda vintage.
FloweringWords
We’re always looking for word GIFs to add to our stories, this is a great place to start. So many different phrases for you to look through.
Washi
I know you don’t know this about me, basically, one person does, mostly because when we worked together we’d talk about planners, washi tape, and stickers. I love washi tape. So searching washi in your GIFs will definitely give you a vibe for your Instagram stories.
Chxrry
That is not a typo, Chxrry is a great search for super tiny, super cute GIFs for Instagram stories. I love using the music one because at the end of the day this blog is a covert music blog.
Vipapier
I’m not sure how to describe this but like you’re familiar with the feeds that use a lot of white marbling backgrounds, golds, and florals? This GIF collection is perfect for that Instagram story.
Hanmade
Hanmade is similar to Vipapier, only this is a more “cold” feel. If you’re into this look, you know what I mean. There’s a certain coldness to this feel of the blog. But these GIFs would fit your aesthetic perfectly.
Muchable
Now if you’re the complete opposite of the two above, Muchable is your look. Bright colors and bold looks, even though these GIFs are similar in shapes to others, the fact that their color scheme is different is what makes them attractive.
IzzyInk
IzzyInk is similar to the earlier Instagram GIFs in this blog, they’re a collection of white words, that would work great on your stories.
Gladdest
Again, gladdest has that similar Wes Anderson vibe, with colors like oranges, golds, greens, blues, and pinks. I like this GIF collection because of the number of starts and music notes to choose from.
StudioJonesie
Super girly millennial-type gifs. Perfect for that girl boss vibe.
KapeBean
Sketch-type gifs for a bullet journal aesthetic.
WildflowerDolly
Looking for a pink blogger vibe?
Handwritten
What you see is what you get. You’re looking for handwritten gifs? Look no further.
Branding is such a key component of social media that something as simple as a great story is gonna get you further than you’d expect. If you wanna see this stickers in action check out my instagram stories live @sanantoniolovelist.
