Overview

When to Use

  • •Preparing a batch of photos for a consistent Instagram feed aesthetic.
  • •Converting landscape or portrait images into square or vertical formats for Stories and Reels.
  • •Optimizing multiple high-resolution images for faster upload and better display quality on Instagram.

How It Works

  • •Upload up to 10 images from your device.
  • •Select your target Instagram content type, such as Feed Post, Story, or Profile Photo.
  • •Adjust optional settings like fit method, background blur, and output quality.
  • •Process the files and download your ready-to-post images.

Use Cases

Standardizing a series of photos into a 1:1 square grid for a cohesive profile look.
Converting professional photography into 9:16 vertical format for Instagram Stories.
Creating uniform cover images for a series of Reels to maintain a clean profile layout.

Examples

1. Batch Preparing Feed Posts

Social Media Manager
Background
The manager has 10 landscape photos that need to be converted into square posts for a brand campaign.
Problem
Manually cropping each photo to 1:1 while maintaining quality is time-consuming.
How to Use
Upload the 10 images, select 'Feed Post - Square', and set the fit method to 'Cover'.
Example Config
contentType: feed-square, fit: cover, format: jpeg, quality: 90
Outcome
All 10 images are instantly cropped to 1080x1080 pixels and saved as high-quality JPEGs ready for upload.

2. Creating Story Content from Landscape Photos

Content Creator
Background
A creator wants to share landscape travel photos on Instagram Stories without losing the full image.
Problem
Standard cropping cuts off too much of the landscape view.
How to Use
Upload the photos, select 'Stories', and use the 'Contain' fit method with 'Blur Background' enabled.
Example Config
contentType: stories, fit: contain, blurBackground: true, blurSigma: 20
Outcome
The full landscape image is centered within a 9:16 frame, with a blurred version of the photo filling the top and bottom gaps.
