Hard grids
Hard shadows

Brutalist UI, brutalist grids — thick black frames, hard offset shadows, zero fluff. Slice your photos and video into a grid that actually hits.

What it does

Cut it into a grid.

Split a photo or video into a hard vertical grid, frame every panel, and export at full resolution. The core toolkit is free.

New · v2.6

See it before you post.

Drop your finished grid into a mock Instagram story — progress bar, profile row, reply bar and all — with every editing control out of the way.

  • Videos keep playing, and a sound button in the reply bar plays the clip exactly as it will export.
  • Top and bottom margins push the grid clear of Instagram’s own interface before you export a pixel.

Fluid layouts

Forget standard grids. Drag the dividers to shape and resize sections exactly how you want — real-time percentage readouts dictate the precise weight and symmetry (or asymmetry) of every block.

Design purist controls

Take command of your aesthetic. Fine-tune internal gaps, outer frame thickness, border sizes, top and bottom margins, and solid shadow offsets — all with razor-sharp precision sliders.

Raw tags & badges

Slap custom text tags, timestamp labels, or status stickers onto any block. Customize the background, tweak the borders, let your message speak as loud as your layout.

Contrast palettes

Ditch the boring backgrounds. Instantly swap between high-contrast, dual-color brutalist palettes with a single tap to make your layout pop.

high contrast · dual color
05

Free rotation

Tilt any photo or video to any angle with a two-finger twist, alongside pan and zoom. Turn near upright and it snaps to level with a guide line and a haptic tick — and tilted media stays covered, so no corner is ever empty.

Rough simulator — not a 1:1 copy of the app

Too much?

Too hard for you?

No shame. The original StoryGrid is the softer cut — rounded corners, a calm UI, the same split-and-post trick.
