What is an Instagram comment sticker?

When you reply to a comment with a Reel, Instagram places the original comment on top of your video as a small rounded card that says "Reply to [username]'s comment". It shows viewers which question you are answering. This tool recreates that card as an image you can use anywhere.

Why would I need it outside Instagram?

Instagram only adds the sticker when you record the reply inside the app. If you edit in CapCut, Premiere or Canva, make UGC-style ads, or post the same video to TikTok or YouTube Shorts, you need the sticker as a separate image. The transparent PNG drops straight onto your timeline.

Does the PNG have a transparent background?

Yes. Only the rounded sticker is drawn, so everything around it is transparent. Choose 3x export if you are placing it on a 1080 x 1920 video and want it extra sharp.

Can I use any comment?

Use real comments from your own audience (ask first if you show their username) or write a sample question for an ad. Don't invent comments from real people or brands, and don't use the sticker to suggest an endorsement that never happened.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The sticker is drawn in your browser, and the photo you add never leaves your device. Nothing is saved after you close the page.

How do I reply to comments automatically instead of one by one?

Hypello watches your posts and Reels for comments and keywords and sends an instant DM with the link or details people asked for. Video replies are great for the best questions, and automation makes sure everyone else still gets an answer. Hypello's free plan includes 1,000 DMs a month.

Why reply-to-comment videos work

A comment sticker on top of a video tells viewers in one glance what the clip is about: a real question from a real follower. It turns a plain talking-head video into an answer, which keeps people watching, and it shows the person who asked that you listened.

The format has also become a staple of UGC-style ads and short-form content on other platforms. Since Instagram only adds the sticker when you record inside the app, creators editing in CapCut, Premiere or Canva need it as a separate image. That's what this generator gives you.

Tips for a clean result

Keep the comment short. One or two lines reads best on a phone screen.
Place the sticker in the upper half of the frame so captions and buttons don't cover it.
Use the dark sticker on bright footage and the light one on dark footage.
Export at 3x for full-HD vertical video.

Use comments from your own audience, with permission if you show their username, or clearly sample text in ads. Don't use the sticker to impersonate someone or fake an endorsement.
