InstaSize 1.7.0.0
To support those who carry out all these on a regular basis, plenty of specialized tools were made and one of the most interesting cross-platform utilities that is also addressed to Windows Phone users is InstaSize.
Decent looks and an easy to use front-end
When it comes to visual appeal, this application doesn't set the standards, but manages to offer a functional interface and it is one that seems quite nice to look upon. The presence of the adverts can be a bit of a hassle, though, as they come in the form of animated banners and some appear in full screen.
The graphics are pretty well designed and moving around the numerous sections of the app is done smoothly and without any visible delays. The workspace has a generous size and the modifications are applied in real time, so you can check them out on the spot.
Pick an image or take a photo to edit on the spot
InstaSize opens up with the pictures stored on your phone ready for selection from the home screen. You also have the possibility to choose a different local folder to browse and once you decide on one of them, the editing functions will be ready.
In case you want to make a fresh capture, the application can access the phone camera and use it to take the shot and automatically send the image to the editing area.
Good selection of editing helpers
With the help of InstaSize you will be able to put together a variety of interesting collages using one of the available templates or simply personalize the picture with neat borders and overlays.
Adding text onto the selected image is also possible and there are several typefaces to choose from when looking for a more stylish font. The filters are fairly common, offering the most often encountered effects and do not impress through sheer number either.
Add more tools and share the pictures
A neat thing about InstaSize is that it will enable you to expand the library of overlays and borders at no charge by accessing the "Downloads" section for additional content. Thus, you can pick the packs you like most and have them installed immediately.
After the editing task is complete, every image can be shared via social networks, SMS or email and this function also takes care of saving the photos because there is no dedicated "Save" function in sight. The output quality can be no more than 2048 by 2048 pixels and it goes as low as 612x612 pixels.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The interface looks fairly well and is practical, but the ads spoil the fun as they come in several forms to obscure the view. |
Function7
The editing features are decent but relatively few tools and customization options are included, while the default selection of effects fails to impress. |
Security8
InstaSize needs to access the phone and owner identities for some reason, unrelated to its actual functionality. |
Battery5
Constantly very near to the red zone, the power consumption for this app is high most of the time and can go up a bit more on continuous and intense use. |
Price8
Having to pay to remove the pesky banners and full screen advertisements may seem a less attractive alternative for many users. |
Compatibility9
Ready to be put to good us eon the more recent handsets out there, InstaSize runs well on all Windows Phone 8 and above devices. |
