About

Layout Grove

Read full description

Turn your photos into finished posts — Stories, swipeable carousels and four kinds of vertical reel — without uploading a single one. Layout Grove does the layout work properly. Pick a shape, drop your photos in, frame each one exactly, and export at full resolution straight to your camera roll. SIX WAYS TO LAY OUT A POST Story — arrange up to six photos and videos across 83 built-in layouts, exported at the perfect size for Stories. Gallery Post — slice one photo into two or three seamless panels that swipe as a carousel, cropped pixel-perfect at 1080 × 1350. Reel Slideshow — Ken Burns motion with silky crossfades, exported as vertical video. Split Reel — two landscape strips stacked top and bottom, taking turns as the reel plays. Pan Reveal — a cinematic pan across one landscape photo that pulls back to reveal the whole frame. Photo Drop — photos tumble in one by one and settle into a stack, like prints dropped on a table. DESIGN YOUR OWN LAYOUTS When none of the 83 built-ins is the shape you want, build one. Place up to ten photo wells by hand — drag, pinch, rotate, resize. Cut each well into a circle, diamond, arch, hexagon or triangle, turn the cut a quarter at a time, add a mat, set the corners. Everything snaps to edges, centres and neighbouring wells, and every change undoes. Save it and use it like any other layout. FRAME EVERY PHOTO PROPERLY Pan, zoom, straighten and flip each photo inside its slot. Rotation zooms to keep the frame covered and settles to level when you get close. Adjust spacing, margins and corner radius across a whole layout at once. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Your photos are processed entirely on your iPhone and are never uploaded — the only thing Layout Grove ever asks the network is whether you have bought Pro. Drafts live on your device, and deleting the app deletes them. LAYOUT GROVE PRO Layout Grove is free, and everything it does today stays free. The layout builder is free to test in full — every gesture, the inspector, undo and save. Pro is a one-time purchase that lets you export the layouts from the layout builder.
