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.
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.
Three clips. One grid.
Drop up to three videos into one grid. Pick the clip that sets the length — shorter ones start over or play back, longer ones get cut. The editor plays every clip in sync, exactly as it exports.
- Pick whose sound plays — one clip or none, never a mess of three.
- Every clip wears a tag: its length over a bar that fills as it plays. The black one sets the length.
- The export panel shows the whole finished grid on a timeline.
- Sharper exports — full-size photos, no second round of compression, video at a much higher bitrate.
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.
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.
Undo & redo
Push it too far? Step back. Changed your mind again? Step forward. Every tweak — dividers, sliders, tags, palettes — can be undone and redone, so you can experiment hard without losing the good version.

One pick.
Twenty stories
Pick your photos and clips once and cut a whole run of stories or posts from them — up to twenty, one hard design for all, placed on one board and saved to Photos in one go. In testing now, on the App Store soon.
The board
tap a photo, then a blockPick
Choose stories or posts, add your photos and clips, and set how many. It tells you how many your picks fill.
Place
Every post on one board. Tap a photo, then a block — or let the wand mix them by colour, a new mix every tap.
Design once
Blocks, gaps, shadows, frame, colours and text tags for the whole series at once — or load a saved grid.
Save them all
Step through post by post in the editor, swipe through the story preview, then save every filled post in one go.

Drag it. Frame it. Ship it.
Drag any band to resize — the rest recalculates. Pick a palette, then push the frame, border, shadow and top/bottom spacing — or flip on text tags.
Rough simulator — not a 1:1 copy of the app
Too hard for you?
No shame. The original StoryGrid is the softer cut — rounded corners, a calm UI, the same split-and-post trick.
