## What is Cuadrito?

Cuadrito arranges your photos into Instagram story and carousel layouts, by hand, on your phone or iPad.

Pick a few photos. Cuadrito lays them out across slides, and you push the frames around until it looks the way you want. Put words on a slide, or a sticker from a search, and they move, turn and scale like any other frame. When it looks right, the finished slides go straight to your photo library at full resolution, ready to post.

The seamless strip is the layout it was built for: one photo, or several, carried across slides so they continue edge to edge. Someone swiping through sees one picture, not a row of separate posts.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR PHONE

There is no account and no upload. Cuadrito reads your photos, arranges them and writes the slides back, all on the device, and there is no server to send them to. Laying out a set and saving the slides work with the network off. The two searches are the one thing that does leave: looking for a sticker or a background sends the words you type to the service that answers them, and nothing else goes with it. Your photos are never part of that.

WHAT YOU GET

Grab photos from your library, or share them to Cuadrito from Photos and they wait on a shelf until the project that wants them.

Layouts for any number of photos, from one across three slides to a wall of twelve.

Frames you move, resize, crop, rotate and mirror by hand on one continuous canvas.

Words on a slide, in the phone's own four looks or three faces the app carries, at a size, an ink, an alignment and an outline you set.

Stickers from a search, landing on the slide at their own size and moving like any other frame.

Backgrounds behind the photos: a print ink, a color you pick, a photo of your own stretched across the slides, or one from the background search.

Cropping that finds the subject, so a face near an edge survives the first crop instead of being cut in half.

Filters and a one-light warmth pass, kept quiet enough that the photo still looks like your photo.

Stories at 9:16 and carousels at 4:5, switchable after the fact.

Projects that survive closing the app, so you can put one down and come back.

On an iPad the board opens wider, with more slides in view at once, so a long strip can be arranged against itself instead of a slide at a time.

If something breaks, the report form inside the app reaches a person.

CUADRITO PRO

Cuadrito is free to use. The first slide of any project always saves to your photo library free, at full resolution, with nothing written on it. Saving every slide of a project, and keeping every project you have made rather than only your last, is Cuadrito Pro.

Cuadrito Pro is 19.99 US dollars a year, as an auto-renewing subscription, or 49.99 US dollars once. A subscription renews automatically at the end of each year unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the year is up, and it can be cancelled in the Settings app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Prices in other countries are set by the App Store and shown in the app before anything is bought.

There is no watermark on a free export, and there never will be.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-07

Words on a slide. Tap Add, then Text, and a block lands where you can see it. Seven faces, three sizes, an ink of your own when the palette has not got it, and an outline for when the photo underneath is busy. It moves, turns and scales like any other frame.

Stickers. Tap Add, then Stickers, and the grid opens on what is trending, so there is something to look at before you type anything.

Add is one row now. Photos, Text, Search and Stickers, four tiles on a line, and Search from there looks through photos and stickers at once.

The four orders in Arrange reorder the slide you are looking at rather than every photo in the project.

Two fixes. A project whose save the phone interrupted now saves anyway, and a block of words stood on end no longer grows a slide it is not really on.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-26

Arrange now opens on a row of layouts. Tap through the ones your photos fit and the slide rehangs itself, with the photos still in the order you put them in. Twelve of the layouts are new, edge to edge with no paper between the photos.

Also: projects that quietly refused to reopen now open, including ones with backgrounds you had set aside, and the editor no longer stops when your phone offers to translate the page.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-19

NEW

A project can be thrown away. New project used to offer two answers, keep working on this one or set it aside, and setting aside is right for work you might want back. It is the wrong answer for a false start, which then sat in Your projects being scrolled past. There is a third answer now, Delete it and start new, which takes the arrangement and the copies Cuadrito kept and leaves nothing behind. Your own photos are untouched, since they were never Cuadrito's to begin with. It asks a second time before it goes, the only place in the app that does, because it is the only thing here that cannot be undone.

Picking several photos from a slot fills the layout instead of stacking them. The "+" on an empty slot used to take the first photo and drop the rest on the slide as loose frames, piled over the layout you had just chosen. Tapping a slot now says where the batch starts: the first photo lands there and the others run on through the layout's other openings, coming back around to any before the slot you tapped. A batch also fills those openings in the order the eye reads them, top to bottom and left to right.

FIXED

Projects save on iPhones running iOS 18. The app writes a project's photos into the phone's own private file store, and the way it asked for that only exists in iOS 26 and later. On anything older every save of every photo failed from the first one, so Your projects sat on screen and could not keep a single project. Those phones take the other road iOS has always had now, and projects save the same as anywhere else.

A photo the phone has cleared no longer costs you the whole project. When storage runs short the phone reclaims saved originals from under a project that still names them, and reopening used to fail outright, with everything else in the project out of reach with it. A project opens now with the photos it still has, the frames that held the gone ones taken out of the arrangement, and a line saying so.

One photo can no longer take down a whole save. If a photo's file stopped answering, or the phone had no room to open it again, the save failed with that photo's name and nothing came out. The slide is drawn from the copy already on screen and the save finishes. The same is true on Lay out, where that photo keeps the copy it has and stays in the set, looking softer than the rest until the next lay-out asks again. What you share is drawn from the original files either way.

A phone with no room left now says the project has stopped saving and what fixes it, rather than failing quietly under an editor that carries on.

When the photo library refuses a set, it says why in plain words: a declined permission, a request the library dropped halfway, or no room left on the phone.
