How to choose

Picking One You Will Actually Use

  1. 1Pick one moodSoft neutrals, pastel cute or bold y2k — mixing moods across highlights is what makes a profile look messy.
  2. 2Keep the icon style the sameLine icons next to filled ones look accidental. Stay inside one set.
  3. 3Save spares for laterExport a few extra covers now, so a new highlight in six months still matches.

Questions people ask

Before You Download

Are these free?

Each set has its own price on Creative Fabrica. A Creative Fabrica subscription includes free downloads, so you can try several styles from this list without buying them one by one.

How do I add a cover to an Instagram highlight?

Save the cover to your phone, open your profile, press and hold the highlight, tap Edit Highlight, then Edit Cover and pick the image from your gallery.

Do I need Canva?

Only for sets sold as Canva templates — they open in the free Canva plan, where you change colours and icons. PNG icon sets upload to Instagram as they are.

Why does my cover look cropped?

Instagram shows covers as a small circle and cuts off the corners, so keep the icon in the centre and leave some space around it.
