Have you ever been about to upload an Instagram Story and thought, “If only I could change the background… or fix my glasses glare… or make the lighting perfect,” but didn’t want to jump through third-party apps or complicated tools? Well, Instagram has solved that problem.
With its new AI-powered Restyle tool, you can now edit photos and videos for Stories exactly the way you imagine, all within the app. Instagram’s Restyle tool uses Meta AI to help users enhance their content creatively. Whether you want to remove distractions, change the lighting, or add fun and artistic effects, this feature makes editing simple and intuitive. How the AI Restyle tool works Once you select a photo or video for your Story, a Restyle button appears at the top-right corner. From there, you can choose between different options.
For photos: You can type prompts that tell the AI exactly what to do. For instance, you could ask it to “add a cute hat on top of the girl’s head” or “change the background to a sci-fi movie scene.”
For videos: Videos work a little differently; Instagram provides preset effects that can instantly transform your clips before you post them. Meta says the tool supports a wide variety of creative edits:
1. Users can remove unwanted objects from a scene, change the overall mood, or even give their Stories an artistic flair.
2. From photorealistic adjustments to film noir tones, or even playful themes like “outer space” or “Paris streets,” the possibilities are vast. Your edited Story can be shared directly to your Story or DMs, keeping everything in-app and free. Step-by-step: How to use Restyle For photos: For videos: Tips for getting the best AI edits To make the most out of the Restyle tool, Instagram suggests being specific with your prompts. The more detail you give about the subject, lighting, composition, and mood, the better the AI can understand your vision and create the perfect edit. This means instead of a vague request like “make it pretty,” you could describe the lighting, background, and mood to get exactly what you want. Sharing restyled stories Instagram has also integrated this tool with its “Add Yours” stickers. If someone posts a restyled Story with this sticker, other users can tap it to apply the same edit to their own photos or videos. With the Restyle tool, Instagram brings powerful AI editing directly to its most popular feature, Stories. Now, users don’t need to rely on external apps or complicated editing software, they can create polished, imaginative content in just a few taps.
