Aesthetic Instagram highlight covers
This aesthetic set keeps things quiet: six small, thin symbols in soft brown on a cream-to-sand gradient. Rename the covers, swap a symbol, or try the pastel and dark luxe colours below.
Free, no sign-up. Made with our free instagram highlight cover maker, which runs in your browser.
What's included
- Six covers in order: About ♡, Daily ☼, Faves ☆, Notes ✎, Night ☾ and Bloom ✿
- A top-to-bottom gradient from cream (#f3ebe1) to sand (#d8c3ab)
- Symbols in soft brown (#6b5544) at 36% of the circle's width, small enough to look delicate on your profile
- Each cover as a 1080 × 1920 PNG, numbered in the order you'll add them, or all of them in one zip
- A preview of how each circle looks on your profile
How to change it
- Rename a cover or type a different symbol. Text covers take one to three characters, so you can also use a short word like ME or FAQ.
- Pastel version: keep the symbols, set the gradient to #fde2e4 at the top and #e2ece9 at the bottom, and the icon colour to #8a6f86.
- Dark luxe version: switch to a gradient from #1c1917 to #3a2f28 and set the icon colour to gold, #d4b483.
- Sage version: use a solid background of #dfe6d8 with icons in #4f5d47 for a calm, green feed.
- Make the symbols bigger or smaller with the Icon size slider, then download the set and add each cover in Instagram under Edit highlight.
Questions
What makes a highlight cover look aesthetic?
Consistency more than any one icon. Use the same background, the same icon colour and the same icon size on every cover, and pick two or three colours that already appear in your posts.
Why are the symbols so small?
Instagram shows highlights as small circles, and a thin symbol with space around it reads as minimal. If yours look too faint on your phone, raise the size slider a little.
Can I use my own icons instead of symbols?
Yes. Add a cover, set Show to Icon image and choose your icon file. Tick the recolour option and a one-colour icon takes the set's icon colour.
