How to build your seamless Instagram feed - templates

So, unless you're filling one or several rows with each consecutive seamless photo upload, prepare for your existing images to look temporarily out of whack.

So, to build a 3x2 image for example, you would have to publish the individual pieces in 'backwards' order - the bottom row first, from right to left, then the top row from right to left. When a new image is uploaded, it pushes the previous one to the right along a new row, then down onto the row below after that. When you upload to Instagram to build seamless images, you have to take into account the placement and order. There's a lesson in Toh Xing Jie's example above, with pre-planning an essential part of the process. The key to building a seamless Instagram feed is to see the grid of photos not as individual images, but as a whole - whether that be a 3x1 row, or larger collections of squares - 3x2, 3x3, or 3x4 (the most photos visible in one screen on many mobile devices). Take the feed above of Toh Xing Jie, whose profile features two 3x3 images one after another.
