VistaCreate is Vista’s online design tool, and it stands out for animated social templates. Its Instagram story library includes thousands of static and animated vertical designs that help your stories catch attention as viewers tap through.
Key features include:
- Static and animated Instagram story templates
- 100,000+ templates and over a million stock assets
- Animation tools, video and music for motion stories
- Brand Kits for logos, colors and fonts
- Background remover and resizing tools
- Social scheduling on paid plans
- Printing through Vista for matching marketing materials
Because VistaCreate is part of Vista, you can also turn your social designs into printed flyers, cards and signage.
The Starter plan is free and includes 100,000+ templates, a million stock assets and one Brand Kit. Pro costs about $10 per month ($120 per year), supports up to 10 team members and unlocks the full library, unlimited brand kits and scheduling. A 14-day free trial of Pro is available.
VistaCreate’s AI tools are lighter than Canva’s or Adobe Express’s, and some templates feel generic. For animated Instagram stories at a low price, though, it’s a great choice.
