Built for the Feed, the Story, and the Reel Cover

Most collage tools give you a generic grid. Pi7 ships templates designed specifically for the platforms people post on - sized exactly for square feed, vertical Story, and the new portrait carousel, with the editorial typography and decoration vocabulary IG creators are actually using in 2026.

Story or Feed - Which Format Wins

The biggest mistake people make is treating Stories and feed posts the same. A feed post earns its spot - it sits there forever, so the composition matters: clean grids, single hero shots, editorial typography. A Story is disposable - it lives 24 hours, so the layout should be fast to read in 2 seconds: big text, fewer photos, a pop of color or a sticker that catches the thumb.

Pi7's Mood Float and Bento Box templates are tuned for feed permanence. Naive Doodle and Photo Dump work for both, but the doodles really sing as a Story. Photobooth Strip is purpose-built for Story (1080x1920 vertical). Pick the format first, the template second.

Instagram Sizes and Why They Matter

If you upload a square image to a Story, Instagram crops it. If you upload a vertical image to the feed, it crops the top and bottom. The right pixel size means no surprise crops when your collage hits the platform.

FEED · SQUARE
1080 x 1080

The classic feed post. Universal compatibility, fits every device. Use for grids, hero shots, and editorial collages.

FEED · PORTRAIT
1080 x 1350

The new feed default - 4:5 ratio, takes up more vertical space than square. Best for carousels with strong type.

STORY / REEL COVER
1080 x 1920

Full-screen vertical. Keep the top 220 px and bottom 250 px clear of important content - that is where the IG UI overlays sit.

PROFILE GRID
1080 x 1080

Even portrait posts crop to square in the grid thumbnail. If you want a clean profile, design with the centered square in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. No signup, no premium tier, no watermark on the export. Pi7 is free because it runs entirely in your browser - no servers to pay for processing.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Every photo stays on your device. Pi7 reads files locally using JavaScript and builds the collage in your browser. Close the tab and the session is gone.
