Sometimes one photo isn’t enough. For when something is too amazing to limit to just one photo, there are collages. One in five users on Instagram post collages. Despite the popularity, users had to download third party apps to create these collages before posting them on their Instagram accounts.
Today, Instagram launched an app that kills the middleman. It’s called Layout and it’s available for iOS. Despite being a standalone app, Layout allows the user to upload a finished collage seamlessly to their Instagram accounts.
Unlike the layout-first apps, Layout is going photos-first with users picking out the photos they want to include in the collage before picking out the layout. After which, the app allows you to tweak and customize the layout to your liking, including photo size, cropping, and flipping. Before uploading, you’ve got your standard roll of Instagram filters to add that final touch.
It’s available only on iOS for now, but an Android version is already in the works.
