## What is Ply?

Some stories don't fit in one frame.

Ply is a canvas for carousel posts. Instead of editing slides one at a time, you lay your photos out on one continuous canvas — and images can flow across slide boundaries, so a swipe feels like one unbroken scene.

DESIGN FREELY
• Square 1:1 or portrait 3:4 formats, 1–20 slides
• Place, layer, resize, and rotate photos anywhere on the canvas
• Photos can span slides for seamless swipe-through panoramas
• Crop any photo independently of its size and position
• Confine a photo to its slide — or let it bleed into the next
• Fit or fill a slide with one tap
• Duplicate a photo to reuse a frame you've already sized
• Add a colored border to any photo

PRECISE WHEN IT MATTERS
• Smart alignment guides snap photos to each other and to the slide
• Snap grid: resize and move in perfect increments
• Rotation clicks in steps with haptic feedback, and always finds zero
• Guides show exactly where each slide begins and ends
• Undo up to 40 steps

EXPORT PERFECTLY
• Every slide rendered at exact pixel size (1080 × 1080 or 1080 × 1440)
• Saved to your photo library in posting order — just upload and go
• Or export the whole canvas as one preview image to share for feedback

MADE FOR CAROUSELS
Works beautifully with Instagram and any platform that supports multi-image posts. Design in Ply, export, and post from your favorite app.

No account. No tracking. Your photos never leave your device.
