Instagram Post Design With AI in Arabic: Sizes and a Full Week of Posts

01Instagram sizes to know before you design

The classic small-account mistake: design a square post, share it as a story and watch it sit small in the middle of empty space, or design a wide image and lose the edges to Instagram's crop. Decide where the image will live first, and the size follows:

In practice: portrait 4:5 takes up the most screen in the feed, so it's the default for posts. Square works for carousels where every slide should match. Stories are always 9:16, with the text kept in the middle, because the app's own controls cover the top and bottom of the screen.

Sources: Instagram Help Center on photo resolution, help.instagram.com/1631821640426723 (photos keep their resolution between 1.91:1 and 4:5 at 1080 px wide and 566 to 1350 px tall); Reels size, help.instagram.com/1038071743007909 (1.91:1 to 9:16); and Meta's Stories ad guidance recommending 9:16, as of October 2026. Instagram occasionally changes how the profile grid previews posts, so check in the app.

02Design an Instagram post in Arabic in a minute

1. 1Open Images: from Vocla's sidebar, on the Create tab.
2. 2Pick the preset: Instagram post for the feed, or Story & Reels, and the shape is set for you.
3. 3Write the description: subject, style, brand colours and where the headline goes.
4. 4Quote the text: the Add text button inserts quotation marks, and whatever sits between them is drawn letter for letter.
5. 5Pick the quality: Lite for quick drafts, Vox Image for most posts, Vox Image Pro for text-heavy posts and prices.
6. 6Ask for 4 images: in a single run, then download the best one.

The short version works, but the full one gives you exactly what you pictured: shape, light, colours, and where the headline sits and in what colour. The headline means «your morning, sweeter». No time to write details? Type the short idea and press Improve; it expands it into a detailed prompt in the same language, for free.

03A full week: seven posts with ready prompts

Take a small coffee roaster with a fictional name, «محمصة الديرة» (Deira Roastery), in coffee brown and beige. This plan mixes product, tips, offers and mood across a week, and each prompt is ready to copy once you swap in your own name and colours:

The Arabic lines translate as: «new harvest», «3 mistakes in V60 brewing», «your day starts here», «20% off your second order», «a sweeter weekend with our coffee» and «Arabic or specialty?».

04Carousels and brand consistency

Accounts that look professional aren't the ones where every post is the prettiest picture; they're the ones where every post clearly comes from the same brand. The trick is simple: one fixed style line you paste at the end of every prompt.

• Name colours and add codes: «coffee brown» conveys the idea, the hex code helps consistency; still check by eye.
• Fix the headline look: same colour, same position and same lettering description on every slide.
• One shape per carousel: all 4:5 or all square, never mixed.
• Number the slides: «1 من 5» (1 of 5) in the headline nudges people to swipe to the end.
• Use a reference photo: from Creator, add the first slide as a reference and ask for the same style on the next one.

If you have real product photos, start from them rather than generating the product from scratch, because followers should see the item they'll actually receive. From Creator, upload the product photo in Edit and describe the background and headline; the product and its label stay as they are.

05Instagram story design: the safe zone

Stories have their own rules. You get the whole screen, but the top carries the account name and progress bar and the bottom carries the reply box and buttons. Put the headline in the middle third and leave the top and bottom for background only.

For interactive stories such as questions and polls, design only the background and the question, and leave an empty area beneath it for the poll sticker you add inside Instagram itself.

06Turn a post into a Reel with an Arabic voice

Reels reach people who don't follow you yet, while static posts mostly reach your followers. You don't need a new shoot: press Make it a video on any image in your gallery and choose:

• Video ad: Vocla writes the ad script, voices it with a real Arabic voice in the dialect you pick, animates your photo scene by scene, and adds Arabic captions.
• Put it in a video: drop the image into your own clip with Video edit.

Image to video is included from Starter, in 9:16 for Reels. Arabic captions render with correctly joined letters, right to left, which matters because many people watch Reels with the sound off.

07What a week of posts costs

On current settings, the weekly plan above is three Vox Image posts at 400 credits each, two Vox Image Pro posts at 650, and two Lite images at 120: 2,740 credits a week if every image lands first time. Images that fail are refunded.

• Starter ($4.99, 5,000 credits): covers one week of this plan with about 2,260 credits to spare, or more if you lean on Lite.
• Creator ($13.99, 15,000 credits): covers about five weeks, plus Edit and reference photos for carousels.
• Professional ($29, 80,000 credits): for accounts posting daily and turning posts into Reels.

Credits are shared with voice and video on the same account. Commercial rights start at Starter, so the posts can go on your store's account and ads; Free and Basic don't include the image studio.

The roastery and offers are fictional. Plan limits and credit rates are current defaults and can change; the exact price shows on the generate button before anything is made. Prices display in your local currency and are charged in USD.
