Frequently Asked Questions

Are my photos uploaded?

No, your photos don't leave your device. Both tools open and edit your photos locally in your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is kept after you close the page

Do I need an account?

No, the tools work without signing in. Paid Patreon members can sign in with Patreon to save the premium features without a watermark

Do I keep the full size of my photos?

Yes. The tools work with your full-size photo, keep its camera details (EXIF) and save it as an sRGB JPG, the color space Instagram uses, so the colors look the way you edited them

Do the photo tools work on a phone?

Yes, both the Before & After Collage tool and Carousel Split tools are created to work like apps on a phone, and you can also use them on a computer in an adapted wide-screen layout

Kristine, the photographer behind Macro Viewpoint

Made by a photographer, for photographers

I'm Kristine, the photographer behind @macro.viewpoint. I made these tools for my own Instagram posts: before and after collages to show my edits, and seamless carousels to show the details up close

Free photo tools for Instagram

Sharing before-and-after edits or turning wide photos into seamless swipeable Instagram carousels usually takes a few extra steps in a photo editor. These two tools make both tasks quicker, right from your phone or computer.

Before & After Collage

The Before & After Collage maker combines your original and edited photos into one image, separated by a straight or curved line. It automatically aligns both versions, even if you've cropped or straightened the edited photo. You can save the result in 3:4 or 4:5 format, ready to share on Instagram.

Carousel Split

The Carousel Split tool turns a wide photo into a swipeable Instagram carousel. It splits your photo into slides using exact Instagram dimensions, making sure the edges line up perfectly as you swipe from one slide to the next. Seamless swiping to show a wider photo or display the details of your photo closer.
