Creating Stories in the Studio
How to create a blank, image, or video Story from scratch?
Everything starts with a Story Group and then continues with Stories. Storyly offers a bunch of different options while you are creating a new Story.
Stories are bite-sized content designed by you for your app & website. While you can have up to 7 seconds of still images and gifs, you can also display videos in Stories up to 128MB in a single Story.
You can have up to 100 Stories in a Story Group.
Let's get into it!

We'll start by creating a Blank Story. A blank Story is basically a colored background where you can build up your story on that background.

You can choose whichever color you like for your background. If you are seeking for more colors or type a HEX code and find your brand color, simply click on (+) icon in color picker.
