What is Instagram story highlight reel?

Instagram story highlight reel is one of 590+ free widgets on PlanckUi. Story highlights as a row of circles. Community content is proof of life: real people, real messages, real activity.

Great for servers, communities and products with an active user base.

Everything is rendered in an isolated shadow DOM, so it can never conflict with your site's own styles — and at a few kilobytes, it won't move your page speed.

Everything included

  • Story highlights as a row of circles.
  • Free forever — no watermark, no usage limits, no "upgrade to remove"
  • Customize everything: colors, fonts, corner radius, shadows, dark mode
  • Copy-paste install: one snippet of HTML works on any website builder

Frequently asked questions

Is Instagram story highlight reel really free?
Yes — completely. PlanckUi widgets are free forever, with no watermark, no usage limits and no credit card. Paid widget platforms charge $15–40 per month for the same embeds.
Do I need an account to use Instagram story highlight reel?
No. Click "Copy HTML" and paste it on your site — that's the whole flow. An account is only needed if you want to collect live data (like customer testimonials) and manage it from a workspace.
Does it work on Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress or Shopify?
Yes. If a platform lets you paste an HTML embed block — and all of them do — Instagram story highlight reel works there. The snippet is plain HTML and CSS in an isolated shadow root, so it can't fight with your theme.
Will Instagram story highlight reel slow down my website?
No. The widget is a few kilobytes of HTML and CSS rendered locally in your browser — no external requests, no tracking scripts, no layout shift.
