In the App Store there are a large number of applications designed to maximize our Instagram account, however, it will be difficult to find a more careful and complete application than Unfold, this application will be our best ally to enhance, above all, the stories of the social network focused on photographers, thanks to the huge number of templates it provides to meet the needs of any user at any time.
What is Unfold?
Just as there are photo editing applications that if we focus on Instagram they will help us to retouch the images that we upload as a post, Unfold has set itself apart to be the quintessential story editor, since it is just that, an Instagram story editor which provides us with a huge amount of templates to be able to personalize and bring our creative touch to each story we upload to this social network.
But beware, we would be very short if we simplify Unfold as an app dedicated to using custom templates for Instagram stories, since it not only provides us with this functionality. To these templates we will be able to add text of all kinds, stickers, stickers, we will be able to modify the color of the template and of course that of the text, but hey, as there are many functions that this App has, let’s go slowly.
Edition: Unfold Studio
Ok, yes, I have told you that the greatest value that Unfold has are the templates to be able to personalize our stories, but it is that, within this app we will also be able to make simple edits of the photographs that we will use later in the templates.
In this section, Unfold gives us the option to apply various filters, effects, and of course, touch the typical parameters such as brightness, contrast, shadows … that is, if we want to make a simple editing of the photograph we do not have to use another app, with Unfold we can also do it.
Insoles: the differential point
Although we have the option of using Unfold as a photo editor, the main value is provided by its templates and the enormous amount of customization options that it has inside.
Variety of templates
Unfold provides a huge number of different templates to be able to customize our Instagram stories in the most creative way possible, adjusting to the needs of all users at all times. We have options in which we only have to enter a photograph and others in which we can put up to 5 and 6 images at the same time. I could write lines and lines describing each of the templates, but I think the most appropriate thing is to invite you to discover it for yourself.
Text boxes
Once we have chosen the template we want to use, we can include, always optionally, all the text boxes we want, anywhere and in any way.
Obviously we can also customize the text to our liking, since we have a wide variety of different fonts, but not only the font is customizable, we can also choose to put our text in bold, italic, modify the separation between letters, between rows, color… in short, we have a thousand options to be as creative as we want.
Stickers and Stickers
To add to the degree of personalization of our stories, we can also introduce numerous stickers that the app provides natively, or if we wish, introduce stickers directly from the app itself without having to resort to the Instagram app itself.
Background, choose the color you like the most for your template
Another fully customizable section is the background of the templates, most of them are fully editable, being able to change the color of the template to our liking or choosing one of the options that the application itself gives you.
Free plan
Unfold, initially, is free, but it has its limitations, even so, the free plan is more than enough to give that personal touch to our Instagram. The limitations that we find in the free plan are only in terms of variety, that is, some collections of templates, text fonts and stickers are only reserved for Unfold +, the premium plan of this application, but as I said before, for the great For most users, the free plan will be more than enough to get you started.

Honestly, as an Unfold + user, I couldn’t be more satisfied paying to use this subscription as my use of templates is almost daily. However, my advice is that, first, you try the free version to see if you really need more and, then yes, opt for the premium plan.
It is worth mentioning that the templates are renewed almost monthly, having more and more customization options. The same happens with the rest of customizable resources, Unfold developers do not stop, and the application is constantly growing.
