Instagram’s new Layout app automatically generates photo collages

Instagram today released a new app called Layout that lets users easily stitch together multiple photos by automatically generating layouts to make a collage of sorts.

When you open Layout, we automatically show you previews of custom layouts as you choose photos from your camera roll. To make it easier to find the photos you want, we’ve also added a Faces option that shows you all the photos in your camera roll that feature people.

While the app will suggest custom layouts for your photo collage, you can also customize the photos with editing controls for layout, sizing, flipping, and rotation.

Instagram also highlighted a feature of the app called ‘photo booth’ that will countdown and snap multiple photos that are automatically stitched together into a collage.

The new Layouts app from Instagram is arriving on the App Store today for iOS.

    And still no dedicated iPad app for their primary service.

  2. Interesting. Maybe i can replace the usual collage apps with one made by Instagram.

    I expected more from instagram… this program I find to be boring and dull… there are at least 50 other apps out there that do the same thing only other apps have more feature .. not worth it in my opinion, glad it’s free, would have been mad to waste my money on this …. I was hoping they would have created something different than the rest! THUMBS DOWN on this one!
