AI story generator for 9:16 Instagram stories
Ask Melon Cut's AI story generator for stories alongside your posts and it makes them at 1080 × 1920, the full-screen 9:16 shape, with every word and logo kept clear of the edges where the app puts its own name, buttons and reply box.

AI story generator, step by step
Ask for stories
Write what you need - "three stories announcing Friday's offer" - or ask for posts and stories together. Stories are made as items in a plan.
Review the plan
Each Story 9:16 item has a title and the text that goes with it. Remove any you don't need and check the credits.
Make and download
Press Make all, then download each story or all of them as a zip, and post them from your phone or your scheduling tool.
Built for the full screen
A story fills the phone from top to bottom, so Melon Cut makes it at exactly 1080 × 1920, a 9:16 portrait. There is nothing to resize or reframe before you post it.
Clear of the buttons and bars
Stories carry the app's own interface on top: the account name and progress bar at the top, the reply box and buttons at the bottom. Melon Cut keeps every word and logo 8% from the sides and 14% from the top and bottom, so nothing important sits underneath them.
Stories as part of a campaign
Stories are rarely made alone. Ask for a launch - feed posts, stories and a vertical video - and they arrive in one plan, with the text for each story written alongside it.
On-brand stories
Add your brand with its @username and each story follows its colours, fonts and style. Your real logo is placed inside the story's safe area, never drawn by the AI.

What size is an Instagram story?
1080 × 1920 pixels, a 9:16 portrait. Melon Cut makes every story at exactly that size.
Can I get a post and a story of the same idea?
Yes. Ask for both in one message - "a post and a story for the sale" - and the plan holds a Post 4:5 and a Story 9:16 item.
Can a story be a video?
Yes. Ask for a vertical video - the 9:16 shape stories and reels use - in a video chat or as an item in a plan.
