Such a time saver." - by Birgittegs "I’ve actually tried a couple of these types of apps and this one was the quickest to get started… The easiest to navigate through and it was by far the quickest to split the video and make it ready for upload." - by @whatthefjall "Simple to split your videos to post on IG stories. Takes seconds and quality stays the same." - by Rocky Ed POST LONG VIDEOS TO YOUR STORY Never stress about that 15-second video limit for your Instagram story ever again. Split Video will take videos of any length and split them into 15-second segments. Upload these smaller segments to Instagram and create a seamless story that runs for minutes (maybe even hours — we didn’t try). NO WATERMARK The app is simple, elegant, and doesn’t add any watermark to your videos. UNLIMITED There are no limitations to how many times you can use the app. It’s completely free to use, with an optional in-app purchase. RECORD DIRECTLY FROM THE APP Split Video has a built-in video recording feature that lets you easily create long videos to post to your story. Thanks to its intuitive interface, you can keep tab on the length of your story and adjust things accordingly in order to create the most seamless video possible. EASY TO USE Split Video is very easy to use. This is how it works: 1. Import or record a long video you want to turn into shorter clips. 2. The app will slice that video and divide it into clips of whatever length you want. These clips will be automatically saved to your library. 3. Launch the Instagram app and create a new story using the smaller clips saved to your library, or use with any other social media app. Because Split Video makes it look completely seamless, people watching your story will be under the impression that you posted one long video when you actually posted shorter clips stitched together. WORKS FOR PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE VIDEOS Split Video works for all your videos, whether they were shot in Portrait or Landscape mode.

Read full description

SonderFrame is a camera for photos that remember their day. Take one photo and keep the place, weather, local time, and a real headline with it. Save it to Camera Roll, send this frame, or open it again in Archive. Use it for trips, anniversaries, moving days, concerts, rainy walks, and ordinary nights that will mean more later. Your photo stays at the center; the day details are printed quietly around it. Free includes: - Save framed photos to Camera Roll with Quiet Print - Send this frame from your device's send options - Reopen saved frames on this device SonderFrame Archive includes Time Depth: saved-frame place, weather, and headlines stay readable, Time Capsule keeps one photo hidden until its open day and then opens it from a notification or Archive, and Keepsake Shelf keeps saved frames available in Archive. Daily Print, Instant Film, Vintage Press, Starfinder, and Boarding Pass turn the same photo into five kept objects: a full-bleed daily print, the instant film you tucked into your wallet, a clipping you saved, a page from a night atlas, or the ticket you held onto after the trip. Sky / Nature / Culture let you choose the printed line; it stays in saved images and Archive. SonderFrame is built for private memory, not public feeds. Save first, send to one person when you want, and return to the day later. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.sonderframe.com/terms
