CUT PHOTOS AND VIDEOS INTO A STORY Every other grid app cuts your post into equal squares. StoryGrid puts the divider where the picture actually wants it — drag it, and the percentages follow, live. Split one photo across the sections so it reads as one continuous shot, or drop a different photo or clip into each block — up to three clips in one story, all playing in sync. SERIES • Cut a whole run of up to 20 stories or posts from one pick. • Pick the format, add your photos and clips, set how many — it tells you how many your picks fill. • Every post on one board: tap a photo, then tap a block. Or let the wand mix them by colour. • One design for the whole series — blocks, gap, frame, corners, colour — or a saved grid. • Step through it post by post in the full editor, and swipe through it in the story preview. • Save every filled post to Photos in one go. CUT • 1 to 6 vertical sections — thirds are a default, not a rule. • Drag any divider to any proportion, with live percentages. • 12 grids to start from, or drag your own. • Undo and redo every change, up to 30 steps. FINISH • Gap width and corner radius, from an invisible split to a bold edge. • Any background colour behind the grid, or a diagonal gradient — or pick a colour straight off your photo with the eyedropper. • Four one-tap looks set the background, gap, frame and corners at once. • Pan, zoom and free-rotate a photo or a clip inside its block. The magnet levels it for you. • The hidden part of the picture shows while you move it, so you never place a photo or a clip blind. • Zoom a photo out past the frame so it spans the full width. SHIP • Stories 1080 × 1920, portrait 1080 × 1350, square 1080 × 1080 — exported at 2× for sharper detail. No re-cropping. • Story preview: see the grid inside a mock story, chrome and all, before you post. • Save a layout and reload it in one tap. • Full-resolution export, as a photo or a video. No account, no ads, no watermark. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account, no upload, no tracking. Every export is rendered on your device. STORYGRID PRO Everything above stays free. PRO adds: • Up to three video clips in one grid — pan, zoom and rotate each. • Clips in a series, too. • Pick the clip that sets the length and the one whose sound plays. • Shorter clips start over or play back, your choice per clip. • Every clip plays in sync while you edit and preview. • Export the whole grid as video, at full resolution. • Polaroid and Leica edges, plus the taller top margin. SUBSCRIPTION • Yearly $19.99 — save over 40%, with a 7-day free trial for new users. • Monthly $2.99. • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. • Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store Account Settings after purchase.
