About Ply — Carousel Creator
One canvas. Every slide. Ply is a layout app for carousel posts. Instead of building slides one at a time, you design the whole carousel on one continuous canvas: full-bleed shots, framed insets, stacked pairs, and photos that run right across the cut, so every swipe picks up where the last one left off. LAY IT OUT • Square 1:1 or portrait 3:4, from 1 to 20 slides • Place, layer, resize and rotate photos anywhere, even across slide lines • Crop any photo, or Confine it to its slide • Borders in any color, and any canvas background • Duplicate a framed photo, then Swap in a new picture • Transparent PNGs stay transparent PRECISE WHEN IT MATTERS • Tap first, then move: only the photo you've selected ever moves • Rotate in 7.5° steps with haptic ticks, and double-tap to straighten • Snap grid, plus smart guides that line photos up with each other and with slide edges • Dashed guides show exactly where each slide begins and ends • Undo, and projects save automatically EXPORT PERFECTLY • Review every slide before anything is saved • Slides render at exact pixel size (1080 × 1080 or 1080 × 1440) • Saved to your photo library in posting order, or shared straight out • Or export the whole canvas as one image to get feedback MADE FOR CAROUSELS Works beautifully with Instagram and any app that supports multi-photo posts. Design in Ply, export, and post. No account. No tracking. Your photos never leave your phone.
What’s new
Version 1.2.1 · Updated October 12, 2026
Small update. • Export is now a compact icon in the editor, leaving more room for your carousel name • Ply now sends a few anonymous usage counts (like app opens and exports) so we can see how it's doing. No photos, nothing personal, no tracking.
