Frequently asked questions
Open SnapLayout, pick a two-photo side-by-side or stacked layout, tap each cell to add your before and after photos, then add a caption if you like. Export it to your camera roll and post it straight to Instagram, TikTok or Facebook.
Yes. Nail pros use SnapLayout to post before and after results, set menus, carousels and Stories between clients. Everything is done on your iPhone in under a minute, so it fits into a busy day at the desk.
Portrait 4:5 (1080 × 1350 px) takes up the most space in the Instagram feed and works best for nail close-ups. Use 9:16 for Stories and Reels covers and 1:1 for a classic square post. SnapLayout has all three as one-tap presets.
Yes. Add as many slides as you need to one project — for example one design per slide, or prep, gel, art and the final reveal — then export all slides at once and post them as an Instagram carousel.
No. Your photos stay on your device and are never uploaded to a server.
Of course. SnapLayout works with any photos, so press-on drops, pedicures and nail art practice look just as good in a collage or carousel.
Yes. SnapLayout has a free version you can use to make collages right away. Premium unlocks extra features for when you want more.

"I sell press-ons online. A carousel with the set on a tray and on real hands sells out a drop faster than anything else I've tried."
