Some of the most shareable images on Pinterest are instructographics. These are the long thin images that take you step by step through a task. They are great for gardening tips, cooking tips and even social media tips.
The good news is, they are really easy to create. In this video tutorial I show you how to make one in less than four minutes with PicMonkey (affiliate link).
Before you start you will need:
- A set of images showing each step in the process
- A header image for your graphic telling people what you are demonstrating
- A copy of your logo (not shown in video)
Save all these files to your computer and visit the PicMonkey site (affiliate link) and you are ready to follow my tutorial.
Here’s one I made earlier. This is a very basic instructographic, spend a bit more time and you can get creative and make something much prettier.
If you give it a go let me know and leave me a link to your work in the comments section.

Picmonkey is great and I’ve noticed that the Royale feature has a ‘Pinter-etsy’ collage too which makes it easier for creating long, narrow images. Collages offer so much potential for businesses in terms of sharing before and after pics too or a tutorial on how to do something such as a hair style or beauty tips. Great tutorial Amanda 🙂
Thanks Amanda. I haven’t really used Picmonkey before but will give it a go next time I’m creating a graphic like that. The last time I did one I used the PhotoGrid App which has a film strip option but then had to save it into a document to add the text. This likes like it might be faster.
Another cool tool to add to my must-try list. I already am a fan of Picmonkey – introduced to it by you – but I don’t use it to maximum effect. Thanks for the tips.
It only occurred to me recently but it’s pretty easy once you know how. The one in the video took me a couple of minutes to create, spend a bit longer and you’ll get something far prettier.
Will have to take a look at Pinter-etsy Lorna, thanks 🙂
I don’t know what I’d do without PicMonkey. I have GIMP for more intense stuff but there’s very little you can’t do with PicMonkey 🙂
Here’s a picture I did for Facebook with PicMonkey recently. It’s so easy to use once you get the hang of it. Thanks for the tip Amanda. Nancy
Great pic!
Thank you!
