How to use Story Bit — step-by-step (beginner friendly)
-
Install the app from Google Play or a trusted store (search “Story Bit | Story Video Maker”). Always prefer Google Play or official developer pages to avoid unsafe APKs. (Google Play)
-
Open the app and pick a template. Templates are grouped by mood or purpose (love, travel, festival, etc.). Tap one to preview animated sequence.
-
Add photos or short clips. Select images from your gallery. Story Bit places them into the template’s animation and timing. (Uptodown)
-
Customize text and fonts. Type captions, change font size, and move text blocks. Many templates let you animate the text too.
-
Add music or voice. Choose a track from the library or add your own audio. Trim to fit the length. (Google Play)
-
Preview and export. Watch the finished video, then export at the recommended size for Instagram Stories or other platforms. Save to your phone or share directly.
If you prefer visual learning, there are many short YouTube tutorials that walk through the app features and show editing steps.
Practical tips for better story videos
-
Choose a single idea per video — don’t try to show too many things in 15–30 seconds.
-
Use high-resolution photos (at least 1080px tall for vertical stories) so your final export looks sharp. (story-bit.en.softonic.com)
-
Match music mood to the visuals. A calm song for travel, an upbeat track for celebrations.
-
Keep text short and readable. Use large fonts and short lines so viewers can read quickly.
-
Preview on your phone before posting — some templates crop edges differently on different devices. (Uptodown)
