Layout from Instagram: Collage

Instagram's newest app is a better way to make collages. Layout lets you create one-of-a-kind layouts by remixing your own photos and sharing them with your friends.
Choose photos from your gallery—or use the built-in Photo Booth to snap spur-of-the-moment shots—and instantly see them laid out in a cool collage. Pick the layout you like best, then edit it to make it your own.

Layout's smooth, intuitive process gives you complete creative control. Tap to mirror, flip or replace images, hold and drag to swap them, pinch to zoom in or out, or pull the handles to resize. You're the editor, so get creative with the way you stitch things together—you can tell a story, show off an outfit or just splice, dice and change the look of your regular photos to convey a mood or theme.

**FEATURES**


* Re-mix up to 9 of your photos at a time to create fun, personalized layouts and collages.
* Use the Faces tab to quickly find photos with people in them.
* Capture the moment in Photo Booth mode with quick, spontaneous shots.
* Save your layouts to your gallery and share them seamlessly to Instagram or other networks.
* Easily see the last 30 photos you've selected in the Recents tab.
* Pair your layouts and collages with Instagram's filters and creative tools afterwards to make them stand out even more.
* Download and start creating a layout or collage immediately. No signup or account required—and no clutter breaking up your flow.

I love Layout! I can put many pictures together and this is especially useful for Twitter (I like ALL platforms, especially when I help posting for a dog rescue - we try to reach as many people as we can!) where you can only post 4 pictures, but for example you could end up posting 16 (4 pictures into 1 that looks like a collage)! I'm sure you can do many other things with it, but I haven't explored all Layout's possibilities yet!

Use is not very intuitive. The arrangements are rigid, and though you can choose relative frame size, you can't zoom in/out of selected photos to fit them in the frame to your liking. I wanted to arrange 3 pics: 1 large rectangle at the bottom, with two half-sized squares on top. It can't be done. There is a setup with 2 squares at the bottom and a rectangle on top, and you can flip the images themselves but not the layout. Otherwise, the app seems to work well for what capabilities it has.

I just started using this app. It is easy to learn. Very small learning curve. Makes placeing and moving pictures easy. We like sample and easy to use app. We are a Happy Camper using this app. The only thing is, I haven't figured out how to delete pictures or if you can. You can end up with double or more of one picture if you use it again in a different layout. Would like to be able to delete my extra pictures.

The all works well in theory: adding pictures to a square grid layout collage type thing. Perfect for prepping an Instagram post. But if you have a lot of folders, it arbitrarily decides which ones to actually show you. In my case, it doesn't show any of the folders I actually want to see-- Camera, downloads, etc. It accidentally made itself useless

Gone downhill for sure. It used to be so much better, but ever since they locked the size of the photos you can't resize anything, it's making it very useless will most likely be deleting it and finding something else if this issue isn't fixed. Even if you swap a photo, no resizing or if you toggle the size of the squares themselves- they will enlarge the photo, but you cannot shrink it again.

It's nice that it connects to your Instagram account so easily, but it lacks features and options compared to third party apps for collages. There are only white borders, which don't work with lightly colored images. Most third party apps allow you to use any color (even patterns) and width for borders. This app just doesn't have enough options to stand out.

Very useful for making collages. Intended for making posts on Instagram, obviously, so the resulting collage is square. Good for that purpose in that you can fit in >10 pictures this way, make a long or wide shot make more sense, or focus on multiple aspects of one photo. A good workaround for not taking square photos, and overall feels like a versatile way to address one's photographs.

Used to be fine. REALLY annoying and unskippable intro, seemingly made for people who have never used a smart phone before... Now all pictures are flipped 90°, so this app is completely useless. Cool... . . Edit: 6 months later, this is still the case and there hasn't been one update. This app is trash, finding a better one.

It's a nice app, it does what it says it could do - allows you to create collages. Nothing fancy, easy to use. Sometimes you can't quite get the entire picture in a frame, even if you resize it w/I the app... but I can resize it in my phone and, WA-LA, problem solved!!

Finding pictures is a nightmare. Sorting is atrocious without the ability to manually sort. That is, if the photos you're looking for are among the select few folders they show you. If not, then you have to click "more" and navigate your entire phone's system storage for EACH INDIVIDUAL PICTURE because they won't let you select mutiple at once. Secondly, doesn't let you rotate photos to better fit your collage. Even if you manually rotate beforehand, it rotates them right back. Why???

literally couldn't even get into the app. the tutorial kept sending me back to the previous screen when it asked me to resize photos and then assumed I had actually tried to swipe to the previous screen. I tried several times and couldn't get past the third screen. Didn't see a skip tutorial option so I've just uninstalled it from my phone as I can't even use it.

This app works perfectly to build a collage with up to 9 pictures. Easy access to images stored, or "photo booth" option, which allows you to capture the moment around you. 8 layout options, and 4 other sub-features to customize. Quick save and upload to ALL apps. I've never had an error message that forced me to close the app, or wait. R&D should consider, -then execute,- adding a single photo "layout" option. Resizing an individual image to fit the upload frame, preventing an undesired crop.

Its ok, I was really hoping to free hand the placement of the pictures. Everything else is ok. Not excellent or good. Less options to choose from then expected. The option to blur out was cool but only allowed to resize the blur not pant with it. So it was tricky. Not the best but not the worst. Can tell someone has put thought into it.

It's great for collages, but only if you want everything to be square... I wish the developers understood others use this app outside of posting pics to Instagram. Tangible prints don't typically come in square dimensions but instead 4x6 or 5x7. I'd also like to be able to control the compression/quality of saved files. This app would be a lot more useful.

Lil. T. Nov 16, 2019     

This app is great you can do so much with it and there is never an ad which is great cuz mostly every app an ad always starts playing. I definitely recommend this to like edit you photos the way you want. I just wish there was a little more options on the part where it says "replace, mirror, flip, boarder.' But anyway this is a really good app!😀

The app is simple and useful when it comes to actually making the collages but the biggest pain is there is no option to search through your folders or gallery so you have to scroll through hundreds of photos in your gallery to find a single picture you want. The easiest solution is to add the photos you want to a brand new folder in your gallery so they're put at the top of the app as recent pictures. But that's too much effort on its own, there should be a search option.

So helpful for not just creating cool collages but also for helping to decrease the space taken up by the thousands of pictures on my phone. I just bunch the pictures that go together into one layout then delete the originals. Really helps! Only complaint would be not enough options for the different layouts, but overall great app.

Pyn. C. Jul 26, 2020     

Love this. So clean and simple to use. But it could give you a bit more flexibility of shapes and formats. Also I agree with others here: you need to be able to select from any of your folders across the piece. Update: you can do this! So it's just the grids that are a bit limiting. But then this is an Instagram-focused tool.

Been using this app for over a year now, it does what I need with no extra junk. I like making patterns using photos mirrored in fun ways! My one wish is that it allowed for PNG file exports with canvas size control - I'm an artist and my graphic design work sometimes needs crisp clean images. Other apps I've tried crop out the edges awkwardly, which ruins the tiling effect, or are just advertisement-stuffed messes. Nothing has ever come close to working as cleanly & efficiently as Layout!

Lis. J. P. Sep 10, 2019     

Really like this app, it's quick and simple to use and its great for sharing direct to my social media or just saving collages till I'm ready to share them. The only limitation that bugs me, is not being able to straighten individual pictures within the layout. If that became a new feature, I'd give it 5☆ without hesitation.

A. G. u. Feb 11, 2019     

I think it is a 5 star app because it does what it promises. It is an easy to use method of placing 2-4 images in a limited number of arrangements to show collages, contrasts, comparisons etc. This is a basic app with minimal, simple features but it delivers on those features accurately...plus...it's free AND you can upload your creation to other sites from the app.

Mar. B. Apr 16, 2022     

Functions just fine but is very basic in it's capabilities - square grids only and a limit of 9 photos. I prefer InCollage which offers many more options - various collage sizes and layouts, ability to choose line/background color, add text and edit individual photos while in the grid.

Fra. D. Apr 4, 2022     

Love Layout! Makes a big difference to my Insta posts...couldn't do without it! Easy, simple and immediate. You can edit within the App or post layout...either way, it works well. Lots of options but not so many it gets confusing.

Nik. E. T. Sep 1, 2020     

Needs WAY more options. The potential is there. Give us options to free rotate photos within the grid. Give us options to rotate the entire grid within the square to make it more eye pleasing. Give us more options for layouts. Something other than just squares within squares. I use this app almost every day and get frustrated each and every time I do ultimately making me go hunt for another/different app to do the same job.

Ros. G. Mar 9, 2022     

Sometimes the layouts dont let you adjust the pictures much, so you have to adjust outside the app to try and get them to the correct size/format you want. All in all, good enough app..

Her. B. B. Mar 3, 2019     

I love this app because it's objective is straight forward and very easy to use, yet creativity-friendly. There are no annoying ads or any bugs what so ever, it's very cool to make photo collages and the arsenal of suggested collages has variety of positions that - if used correctly could produce really cool and stylish collages. I use it almost every time I wanna post collages to Facebook, Instagram and more...

Yom. x. May 5, 2020     

Simple, straight forward, easy to use, and definetly comes in handy for what it's meant to do... Layout Images... Keep in mind the tho the all isn't anything crazy, it doesn't add borders for the layouts or provide any fancy edits, it's simply a layout for the photos and that's exsactky what it's meant to be and for that it's 5/5

Lau. R. Nov 9, 2019     

When I first got it, it was great, required for Instagram photo layouts, and functions easily. However, now I'm feeling restricted with only being able to make a square. Especially since Instagram allows different dimensions now too. Would really like to see an update for this.
