Piclip supports adding watermarks, nine-square grids (four-square grids, etc.), and a custom number of cuts to a picture, and these cut pictures will be saved in the album in order, and can be published on social platforms such as Weibo, Moments, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc., to get a very interesting dynamic article display style. In other words, as long as the social platform supports this kind of compartment layout, it can be done well using the Piclip application. Piclip also supports the generation of GIFs from selected images for sharing or socializing, as well as for memes. Hope you all have a pleasant experience!
