SQUARE EDITOR — POST WITHOUT CROPPING
Square-fit your photos and panoramas so 100% of the image shows in your post. Add minimal frames, textures and custom crop ratios that make your feed pop.

PANORAMA SWIPE
Turn wide photos into a seamless swipeable carousel — one post your followers can't stop swiping.

COLLAGE MAKER
100+ designer collage templates plus a free-hand collage editor for personal layouts in seconds. Share to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp and more.

STORY TEMPLATES
170+ fully editable story designs for posts that look professionally made.

### 3/5 — Pas à jour

*2025-02-14*

Format des grid insta pas à jour
Avoir le nouveau format portrait serai un gros plus

### 1/5 — Instagram Broke This

*2025-01-28, version 7.1.7*

Very cool in concept, but Instagram changing its formats rendered this app unusable.  A new version seems simple enough. I will re-rate once this issue is resolved.

### 1/5 — Cheating me out of my subscription.

*2024-09-07, version 7.1.7*

I paid for a year subscription where I had access to all the giant squares and now with three months to go in my year subscription they have changed it and now I don’t have access to the last two squares. It’s “VIP” now I only bought a year sub so I could get those last two options. That’s very shady. I will not be renewing with them.

### 2/5 — Cancel

*2024-01-14, version 7.1.7*

Why i can not cancel the second purchase even i try to go to setting to do but it didnt work it kept going out ???? It literally hilarious when u just used them once and now they keep to get your money no matter how u wanna cancel it

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-01-13, version 7.1.7*

It’s been 3 times that I try to subscribe for 1 year at 18,99$ but once I pay, I still have not access to the feature VIP. 

However, if I sign up for 1 week at the ridiculous price of $6.49 per week, it works. It's just a big scam that offers fake deals only to make us pay full price.

### 1/5 — Horrendous

*2023-08-01, version 7.1.7*

Huge watermark and other apps do it without a watermark, do not download.

### 4/5 — Super 👌🏻

*2023-07-19*

Super site que me permet de faire presque tout ce que je veux dans la version gratuite, il manquerait quelque petite fonctionnalité sympa qui ne sont même pas disponible de la version payante, mais on peut se débrouiller sans.

### 5/5 — Fun for IG

*2022-11-08, version 7.1.7*

the app has some great features, like stitching slider pictures

### 5/5 — It works well on my phone

*2022-11-08, version 7.1.7*

Dont understand thise bad reviews it works on my phone

### 5/5 — Great collages

*2022-11-08, version 7.1.7*

I use it for all my family photos!
