Instagram upgrades Edits App with keyframe, enhanced audio, text effects and more

New Delhi: Instagram has rolled out a suite of new features for its standalone video editing app, Instagram Edits. The latest update introduced tools like keyframes, an upgraded Ideas tab, voice enhancement, and new text effects.

Launched in April 2025, Instagram Edits has quickly gained traction among creators for its intuitive, mobile-friendly interface and robust editing capabilities. The app, available for free on iOS and Android, allows users to capture, edit, and export high-quality videos up to 10 minutes long without watermarks.

Key new features in Instagram Edits

• Keyframes for precision editing: The introduction of keyframe editing allows creators to animate the position, rotation, and scale of clips with pinpoint accuracy. This feature enables dynamic transitions and visually striking effects, transforming static visuals into fluid animations. Instagram has also teased upcoming keyframe support for text, stickers, overlays, and cutouts, promising even greater creative control.
• Enhanced Ideas Tab: The updated Ideas tab now includes a full-screen audio preview, saved audio tracks, and a new sticky note feature for jotting down content creation notes. Creators can explore trending audio and see how others are using it in the Inspiration feed, streamlining the process of planning and editing Reels.
• Voice Enhance Tool: A standout addition, the Voice Enhance tool removes background noise from voiceovers, ensuring clearer audio for videos. Previously limited to regular clips, this feature now applies to individual clips or entire tracks, making it ideal for creators relying on narration or dialogue.
• New Text Effects and Animations: The update introduces a variety of new fonts, text animations, and styles, organised into categories like ‘Simple,’ ‘Bold,’ and ‘Handwritten.’ Creators can customise text with animated effects and backgrounds, offering endless possibilities for aesthetic combinations that make videos pop.
