See your feed before you post it. Gridder is a planning tool for anyone who cares how their profile looks as a whole. Drop in photos and videos, drag them around, and watch the grid come together — long before anything goes public. No account. No login. Nothing leaves your phone. PLAN THE WHOLE GRID • Drag and drop to reorder until the layout feels right • Mix planned posts with what you've already published • Pin posts to lock them in place • Undo and redo anything, without fear • Archive ideas you're not ready for yet SPLIT ONE IMAGE ACROSS MANY POSTS Turn a single photo into a seamless multi-post layout. Choose 3×3, 2×3, 2×2, vertical strips or horizontal bands, move the image inside the grid until it sits right, and Gridder slices it into perfectly aligned pieces. MAKE IT MATCH YOUR PROFILE • Enter any public username to pull in your existing grid • Or start from an empty canvas • 3:4 or 1:1 cells, whichever you prefer • Highlights row, Reels tab, profile header — toggle what you want to see • Light and dark themes CROP WITHOUT GUESSWORK Pinch, drag and crop each image with a live preview of how it will sit next to its neighbours. Free-form or locked to 1:1, 4:5, 5:4, 3:4, 4:3. WORK ON SEVERAL PROFILES Keep separate projects for different accounts or different ideas, and switch between them in a tap.
