Social media feed UI examples

A photo feed is the main browsing surface of a social app, built to keep new content flowing. Our screens show stories along the top, photo posts with author, location, likes and comments, and side modules for suggested photographers and trending places, designed for web and mobile in eight visual styles with light and dark versions. Every example is an original design that comes with its HTML code and a DESIGN.md of colour, type and spacing tokens, in light and dark. Free to use and adapt.

Feed design tips

Keep the post header compact, with avatar, name and location on one line, so the photo gets as much of the screen as possible.
Put like, comment, share and save actions directly under the image in a fixed order, so they become muscle memory.
Mark which stories have been viewed with a changed ring style, so people can tell at a glance what is new.
Reserve image space with the correct aspect ratio before photos load, so the feed does not jump as people scroll.

Questions

What are the key elements of a social feed?

A post header with author and context, the media itself, an action row for liking, commenting, sharing and saving, a like count and a preview of comments. Around the feed sit stories or highlights, navigation and discovery modules such as suggested accounts.

How do you make an image feed fast?

Serve images sized for the device in modern formats, lazy-load anything below the fold, reserve space with fixed aspect ratios and show a low-detail placeholder or dominant colour while each photo loads. Preload the next few posts so scrolling stays smooth.

Should a feed use infinite scroll?

Infinite scroll suits casual feeds where people browse without a goal, but it makes the footer unreachable and position hard to recover. Restore scroll position when people return from a post, and consider a clear end point, such as a caught-up message, once they have seen new content.
