## What is Resize for Story?

Post any of your images or videos to Instagram Stories regardless of their size and date! 

Noticed how your Instagram Stories posts always get cropped when you choose photos from your Camera Roll, and often not in the way you’d like them to? With Resize for Story you can post the whole picture or the original format video without having to rely on the automatic cropping by Instagram!

Post full size photos: Resize for Story makes any pictures taken outside of the Instagram app fit perfectly into Story format by adding boarders in different styles: Black, White, Custom Color, Photo, Blur or Pixel. 

Post full size videos: Don't let the app ruin your landscape videos by cropping them from the centre! Choose one of the border options and share your clips the way they were intended to be.

Instantly visible in your Library: The app saves all photos and videos as new to your Camera Roll, so you can share any content right away regardless of when it was taken! Plus, there’s no image quality loss as compared to simply taking a screenshot.

Bulk Upload: Save your time by editing up to 10 photos at once!

More great features coming in the updates! If you like the app, please leave us a rating or a review!

### 5/5 — 5 Stars

*2019-08-19, version 1.0.5*

Go to app! Perfect

FYI- other version (paid) crashes

### 3/5 — Video

*2019-08-19, version 1.0.5*

Videos cut off at 15 seconds, I see this was being worked on about a year ago, how much longer before this will be fixed? 
Thanks! 
Other than that it’s great for pictures.!

### 5/5 — Easy to Use!

*2019-07-02, version 1.0.5*

I love this app. It does the job beautifully and is super easy to use.

### 5/5 — So Easy & Convenient

*2019-02-20, version 1.0.5*

This app is awesome. It’s quick, easy, and simple. It does exactly what you want it to do.

### 1/5 — Unable to use after purchasing due to features

*2019-01-02, version 1.0.5*

You should remove the odd doubling effect, or allow people to turn it on and off at least.

### 1/5 — Does not work I would like a refund

*2018-08-29, version 1.0.5*

This app does not cut my videos like it shows, it puts two different video boxes onto the screen overlapping each other and then has the background behind them. I just purchased this and I would like a refund please.

### 1/5 — Paid for the ability not to customize my background

*2018-08-16, version 1.0.5*

Honestly, I’m incredibly disappointed that the ability to customize the background for video was advertised but is not available in this app. If at possible, I’d like my 2.99 back because that is unacceptable. Deleted the app.

**Developer response:** Please contact support@ultralabapps.com so we could solve your problem.

### 4/5 — LIFE SAVER!

*2018-08-07, version 1.0.5*

There were so many group photos I wanted to post but couldn’t until I found this app. Now no one is left out and everyone makes it in the dimensions.

### 3/5 — Longer videos

*2018-07-04, version 1.0.5*

We need do be able to wait longer videos. With IGTV it's important.

### 1/5 — Useless for my needs

*2018-07-04, version 1.0.5*

When I went to check out what this app does, I accidentally bought it. And it doesn’t even do what I was needing, which is to resize & crop for an Instagram story. It only lets you NOT crop a photo by adding a background. 🤦🏼‍♀️
