I need something for Windows (and also something for Android if you know of)
That can put my photos into a black square for sharing on Instagram. I have some 16:9 photography and Instagram doesn't display those well in my profile, and I noticed that some bigger accounts put their widescreen images into a black square so they show the full image when someone looks at my profile.
Preferrably something drag and drop, I don't want to mess with Photoshop for each image as that is time consuming. And I don't mind a bump down in quality since it's for instagram.
Does that even make sense? I don't know how to explain it. Thanks.
you can do it in any image app stupidly easy.
1) Look at your photo and figure out the dimensions. (Pretend it's 1500x2500)
2) Make a 2500x2500 square image in (MS Paint can do that easily)
3) Copy/paste your existing image into the black image.
4) Save or Resize and Save.
Done.
Easiest would be to shoot in 1:1 from start. But if you need app, InShot is the editor I use for Android as it is imo slicker than Photoshop Express. For Windows, you can use the default Photos app.
You can use Instasquare. I have used it for my posts and it works great. I have a quotes account that is pretty big now and I have used the sare technique since the beginning. It's like the account's signature thing. To be honest, I never realized how hard it is to maintain an account and how hard it is to grow it. In the begging I will be honest, I bought followers and likes on https://megafamous.com in order to grow my engagement. After that, I saw a significant change cause people saw that the page had a number of followers and they followed on their own. Now I have about 300k followers, pretty great huh?
