Instagram is a social media platform that has grown to be one of the most popular over the last few years. There are many uses for Instagram, among them, allowing users to post photos and videos. But what if you want more than just pictures? What if you want to create your own video or even just a slideshow? Luckily, there are some easy ways to make this happen. In this article, we will give you the rundown on how to make reels on Instagram so that your content can be shared in multiple formats with ease!

Create or open an Instagram account.

  • Create a new account.
  • Open an existing account.

If you're new to Instagram, create your own username and password by pressing the Sign Up button in the top right corner of the page (if you're already signed into your Facebook account) or logging out of Instagram if you're already logged in (you'll see this option when tapping on your profile icon at the bottom left of every screen). Then enter basic information about yourself, including your age and gender, location and interests—after which point you can start posting photos and videos just like everyone else!

If you want to open up another Instagram account under a business name instead of using your personal profile, follow these steps: Go back to the homepage by tapping on its icon at the bottom left of every screen (the three lines stacked one atop another). Scroll down until you see “Create Account” at the bottom right corner; tap on it; then enter all required fields before choosing whether or not this will be linked with existing Facebook/Google accounts (or register a new one).

Tap the Your Story button (this is at the bottom of your screen and looks like a square smiley face) to open your camera.

Tap the Reels button (this is below the camera and looks like a reel).

Record your video, then tap Done once you're finished with it.

Open your video in the editor by tapping Next. Here, you can add text or stickers to personalize your reel! Hit Next again when you're done editing or use the arrow icon on the right side of each effect to scroll through them if you want to change up how they look on your story.

Tap the Reels button (this is below the camera and looks like a reel).

To start recording, tap and hold on this button.

You can also use your Apple Pencil or finger to record and edit in Reel Express.

Record your video, then tap Done once you're finished with it. Open your video in the editor by tapping Next.

  • Record your video, then tap Done once you're finished with it.
  • Open your video in the editor by tapping Next.
  • Add effects (like filters), text, stickers, and even location tags to make your reel stand out from others!
  • When you're happy with how everything looks, press Share at the bottom of the screen to export it as a GIF or MP4 file on your phone's camera roll so that you can post it directly to Instagram later on—or share it directly on other social media platforms such as Twitter or Facebook!

Use the arrow icon on the right to scroll through effects to add them to your clips in order as desired, such as a speed effect that makes your video look faster or slower and an audio option that allows you to add background music to your video.

To apply effects to your clips, click the arrow icon on the right. This will open up a menu that allows you to scroll through effects and then select them in order as desired, such as a speed effect that makes your video look faster or slower and an audio option that allows you to add background music to your video.

Tap Next when you are finished adding effects and filters, then add text by tapping the T icon. You can also add a sticker by tapping the Sticker icon.

  • Tap Next when you are finished adding effects and filters, then add text by tapping the T icon. You can also add a sticker by tapping the Sticker icon.

Once you've added your first image, swipe to add another photo or video and tap Next again.

  • To make the second image smaller, drag the bottom slider leftward until it's in proportion with your first image (it should be about half as tall). Then tap Done to save your changes.
  • Press Share when you have finished editing your reel.
  • You can also post the video to your Instagram story by pressing the share button on the final step.
