Free Blue Highlight Covers For Instagram Stories
If your feed leans soft, chill, or just needs a little more balance, these blue highlight covers might be exactly what you’re looking for. I put together two sets—one with abstract swirls and one with a mix of everyday blue-toned icons. They’re simple, clean, and perfect if you’re trying to tie your highlights together without making things feel too busy.
Blue has a calming vibe that just works. Whether it’s pale sky blue or something deeper like navy, the color instantly makes your profile feel a little more thoughtful and pulled together. These covers keep things light and easy, and you can use them whether your style is beachy, cozy, minimal, or somewhere in between.
You’ll find both sets below, and at the end of the post, I’ve added a quick how-to guide for cropping the covers and adding them to your Instagram.
Blue Swirl Highlight Covers
These swirls are soft, flowing, and a little abstract—like paint strokes or water ripples. They’re subtle enough to keep your feed looking clean but still add a bit of personality to your highlights. If you want something polished that still feels relaxed, these are a great pick.
Mixed Blue Highlight Covers
This group includes all kinds of blue-toned items like mugs, notebooks, abstract shapes, cozy accessories, and other little icons. It’s a good mix if you want something casual and styled but not too matchy-matchy.
How To Use These Covers On Instagram
To save the image, just tap and hold it on your phone (or right-click if you’re on desktop), then download it to your photo library.
To crop it into a circle, upload the image into Canva and use a circular frame to crop and download. Or skip the extra step—open the photo in your phone’s photo app, zoom in, and crop around the circle directly.
When you’re ready, open your Instagram profile, press and hold any highlight, choose “Edit Highlight,” tap “Edit Cover,” and upload your new image.
And there you go—a quick refresh that makes your profile look clean, cool, and consistent.
