Agree – not every shot wants to be “fitted” the square format of Instagram. Particularly offensive, if it is a colorful panorama or, say, a portrait. Yes, in fact, any photo that you do not want to ruthlessly shred. The Squaready application will help to avoid this. Squaready is a free application for preparing photos for publication in Instagram. The most useful feature of Squaready is the ability to send landscape (rectangular) photos to Instagram without the need for cutting. The application allows you to supplement the top and bottom of the landscape photo with a background, so the photo size will be square, and you can send it to Instagram.
To start editing, we load the finished image (portrait or landscape) from the library Camera + or Twin Collage. The main job the application, in general, does for you – helps to center the frame, and also adjusts it to different formats, keeping the size.
If you want, you can rotate the image yourself and arrange it under the ugly angle, and also, use a couple of other editing functions. It remains only to choose the background color (palette, by the way, very decent) and open it in Instagram. The application even asks finally, in what capacity you want to keep it.
