## What is PhotoTiling?

"The well-known InstaTiling app is now PhotoTiling"

** Tile banners and photo grids on your Instagram profile **

New:  The app was previously named "InstaTiling". It has been renamed to "PhotoTiling" for meeting Instagram's brand policy.

PhotoTiling is an app that enables you to crop your photos into multiple squares (tiles), then arrange them on your Instagram profile page to create Banners and Photo Grids. PhotoTiling not only enables you to easily and quickly make banners, but also provides you the maximum flexibility to tile your photos into any grid pattern you want.  Besides uploading to Instagram, you can also save your Banner/PhotoGrid as a single photo.

** Features :

1. Load multiple photos, crop your input photos into multiple squares, then arrange and post them on Instagram as banner or any grid pattern you want.  (see Screenshot 1,2,5), 

2. Add tags, captions, and comments to the cropped photos within the app, and you can copy the tags to all other cropped photos with just one button tap (see Screenshot 3).

3. The UI is optimized for you to quickly and easily make banners. The "Fit" function can automatically fit your loaded photo into the squares you have selected.

4. Upload the cropped photos to Instagram in the correct order from within the app. The app will track which cropped photos have been uploaded so that you won't forget what should be the next one to upload (see Screenshot 4,5)

5. You can also save the cropped photos to your camera roll, then upload them later in Instagram.

6. You can save the created Banner/PhotoGrid as one single photo to Camera Roll.

** Tips:

1. To make large banners (e.g. 4x3 banner), you can use two-finger tap to quickly select multiple squares.

2. You can use the "Fit" function to quickly fit your loaded photo into the squares that you have selected.

3. Use "Save Grid" function to save the created Banner/PhotoGrid as one single photo to Camera Roll.

** Note:

1. Due to the constraints of Instagram API, currently you can only upload the cropped photos one at a time during "upload". 

2. The tags or comments added within the app are only effective when you use the "upload" function. If you use the "save Tiles" function and use Instagram to upload from camera roll, you can only add tags within the Instagram app.

### 1/5 — No live help

*2022-12-06*

I want a grid of 25 images and it is not provided here, but the opportunity to request that is also not an option as far as I can tell. App is not of practical use for an independent creative.

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2022-05-29*

Cannot add multiple photos and very hard to use

### 1/5 — Not worth the $

*2021-11-12*

I bought this thinking I could make those cool pictures like on insta but it registers it with lines in the middle so you can’t swipe to the in between to see the two coming together as it takes a gap out. And the quality is just really bad, the photos were a lot blurrier after.

### 1/5 — Cannot directly post to IG

*2019-11-28, version 1.5.1*

Why the app said I have to install instagram, I already had instagram, and I cannot post directly from the app to instagram. What can I do?

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-11-15, version 1.5.1*

Don’t waste your money! This app does nothing!! It does not crop and share your pics directly on IG as mentioned. It needs updating, really outdated interface and keeps asking to install IG app when it’s already on my IPhone 8. Just wasted my money !!! Please refund

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2019-10-04, version 1.5.1*

STINK!!! Can’t save to camera roll and upload to Instagram. Anyway this app is useless.

Some UI change for iOS 7.

If you like our app, please do help us rate/review on app store. Your rate/review will greatly encourage us to maintain and add more features into the app.

### 1.2.2 — 2013-07-31

1. Per the requests from many users asking for the function of saving the Banner/PhotoGrid as one photo to Camera Roll, we have changed the "Save" function on the "Export" page to "Save Grid" function, which will save the created photo grid as one photo (you can go to @InstaTiling on Instagram to see some samples). We would be very appreciated if the users who requested this function can re-evaluate our app and help us rate/re-rate the app on the App Store.

2. Added hint message to the default comments of the uploaded photos so that your IG followers will be hinted to see your profile for the complete banners or grids.

Note: some users requested the "batch upload" function to upload the whole sequence of tiles to Instagram all together. Unfortunately, we are unable to implement this function because "Batch upload" function is not supported by Instagram API (because they don't wanna jam the upload traffic). We certainly will implement it in the future if Instagram would open up such API in the future.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. If you like our app, please do help us rate/review on App Store.

### 1.2.1 — 2013-07-26

Recap of last update: 1) added multi-touch square selection function, so that you can make large banners more quickly; 2) Added the "Fit" function so that you can quickly fit your photos into the selected squares. 3) Added the "Snap To Grid" function.

This update: Minor bug fixes.

Thanks for your feedback. We will add more features as you have suggested in the next versions.
