You took the perfect photo. Instagram wants you to chop it into squares by hand, upload them in the wrong order, and hope the grid lines up. Nova does it for you — instantly, on your phone, with the kind of precision a desktop editor wishes it had. Pick a layout. Drop in a photo. Get a wall. SLICE • Choose 2×2 (4 posts) or 3×3 (9 posts). • Nova crops to a perfect centre square, then splits and numbers every tile in upload order — top-left to bottom-right. • Pull from your Photo Library or snap fresh with the Camera. SAVE • Every grid becomes a saved Project with its original image, tiles, and layout preserved. • Projects live on-device. Offline. Private. Yours. • Search by name, rename anytime, delete when you're done. ANNOTATE • Each project gets its own Notes field — captions, hashtags, client briefs, posting reminders. • Hit record and drop a Voice Memo straight onto the project. Perfect for marketing ideas, creative direction, or talking through a feed before you ship it. PREVIEW • Fullscreen tile preview with pinch-to-zoom. • Tap any tile to inspect, swipe to advance. • Long-press a tile to export it directly to Instagram, AirDrop, or any share target. SHIP • Tiles are exported individually, numbered, and ready to upload. • No watermark. No "made with" footer. The grid is the grid. WHY NOVA • Zero friction. No login, no signup, no email, no cloud account. • Fast. Image processing happens locally in milliseconds. • Organised. A searchable library of every grid you've ever built. • Distinct. Bold, brutalist UI that respects your taste — and your time. OFFLINE BY DEFAULT Nova never asks for the internet. Everything is processed and stored on your device. If you don't want a grid in the cloud, Nova agrees with you. Free to start. Create as many grids as you like.
