ā€œWhy use Canva Reels cover templates for Instagram?ā€

Many entrepreneurs and content creators want a beautiful Instagram feed, but struggle with the inconsistent look of random Reel thumbnails. These free Canva templates for Instagram help you keep your content branded, clear, and professional-looking — without hours of design work.

They’re especially helpful if you’re posting tutorials, educational content, storytelling Reels, or content for clients.

ā€œWill Reels Covers Created in Canva lower my engagement or hurt me with the algorithm? ā€œ

No! This rumor started when a big accounted said years ago that ā€œthe algorithm doesn’t like it when things are created outside of Instagram,ā€ but that myth has been since debunked by Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, on several occasions in his Instagram Q&As.

ā€œDo I need to Add a Cover to every single Reel?ā€

That’s up to you. I like adding one for at least every other Reel, as long as the Reel that don’t have covers have previews that look good on the feed. I love how the covers help with brand recognition for visitors of my Instagram profile. Especially for those who post a lot of Reels and don’t show their branding enough in their content. But if you don’t have time, you can always post the Reel and batch-create your covers later. To add a cover after the Reel was posted, just open the Reel, go to edit and you will see the option to edit cover!
