Trove — Social Media Studio & Archive

One photograph is never one file. It is a square for the feed, a 4:5 that takes more of it, a 9:16 story, a 2:3 pin, a 16:9 thumbnail — and each one wants a different part of the picture kept. Trove is a studio for that, and it runs entirely inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is stored on anybody's server. There is no account. ━━ THE STUDIO ━━ Drop a photo or a clip. Tick the placements you are posting to. Press Export. • 43 placements across the eight networks Trove works on — each one sized from that platform's own published spec sheet, organic placements only, with the source cited for every number • Crop by zoom and position, locked to each placement's own shape, so every frame you can draw is one the file will actually have • Rotate, mirror, and straighten a horizon by up to 15 degrees • Twelve looks and fourteen sliders — exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, fade, saturation, vibrance, warmth, tint, sharpen, soft focus, vignette, grain. Every look is rendered on your own picture, not a stock swatch • Trim a clip, with a strip of its real frames to trim against • Story and reel placements shade the margins Instagram's own interface covers, so nothing important ends up under a caption It tells you what a crop will cost before you commit to it — how much of the frame goes, whether pixels have to be invented, what cannot work at all. ━━ WHY IT LOOKS BETTER THAN A CANVAS RESIZE ━━ Photos are resampled with a Lanczos kernel over a box-halved pyramid, not one bilinear step from 4032px to 1080px. EXIF orientation is applied by the decoder that does the work, so a portrait photo never comes out sideways. Where a platform caps the file size — Pinterest at 20MB, a YouTube thumbnail at 2MB, a Facebook page cover at 100KB — it encodes, measures and encodes again until it actually fits, instead of handing you a quality slider and hoping. Video is transcoded through your machine's own hardware H.264 encoder, and the MP4 is rebuilt around it properly, with the metadata at the front so it starts playing before it has finished downloading. A fifteen-minute reel costs no more memory than a five-second one. The preview is not an impression of the result. It is rendered by the same code that writes the file. ━━ FREE, FOREVER ━━ • The whole Studio, on one file at a time — every placement, every look, every slider, the crop, the trim, and video export • A download button on every Instagram post, reel, story and grid tile, on every Pinterest pin, and on X, Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook. Pick from the resolutions the site actually has and get the real file, not the thumbnail • Carousels and multi-page pins save every item into a folder of their own • Filenames carry the handle and the post id, so any file leads back to where it came from without an index • No limits, no watermarks, no ads, no account ━━ TROVE ARCHIVE — ONE-TIME PURCHASE ━━ Buy once; there is no subscription and it keeps working. WORK ON THE WHOLE SET AT ONCE Load as many photos and clips as you like. Pick the placements once. Ten photos into four placements is forty files, in one run, filed one folder per photo. Ten minutes of work instead of an afternoon. PUT YOUR MARK ON IT Stamp your logo onto every export — positioned on a nine-point grid and sized as a share of each placement, so one setting fits a square post and a six-to-one banner. Save the looks you have made your own and reuse them by name on everything that follows. EXPORT YOUR LIKED POSTS Instagram's own data export gives you a folder of JSON nobody can read. Trove collects your like history from Instagram's Activity Center and writes it as CSV, JSON, JSON grouped by creator, or one file per creator in a ZIP. Filter by creator, media type, date or keyword first. Usernames are resolved automatically, so your export says "natgeo", not a numeric id. SAVE A PROFILE'S STORIES The live 24-hour reel, and its highlights if you ask — the half of an Instagram profile that otherwise disappears. Frames are named by the moment they were posted, which is the only thing that still orders them once the day is up. SAVE A WHOLE PINTEREST BOARD Open a board and save it in one run, at the size each pin actually has. Carousels and idea pins keep every page. The run is paced, it can be stopped between pins, and it tells you where it stopped. DOWNLOAD MEMORY Every file is recorded, so the same post or pin is never fetched twice. Export that memory to keep beside your media, and import it after a reinstall. ━━ WHAT TROVE DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO ━━ Trove will not download a profile's entire back catalogue. On Instagram that feature was built and then removed; on Pinterest it was never offered. Saving everything a person has ever posted or pinned is not what this is for, whatever it would do for the install count. A board is the exception, and a deliberate one: it is a collection somebody assembled on purpose, and you save it by opening it and asking for it by name. There is no way to point Trove at a person and take everything. The two bulk runs — a story reel, and a board — ask before they touch anything that is not yours. The notice explains that the content belongs to whoever posted it, that copyright still applies, and that bulk downloading is against the site's terms of use, and you have to agree on purpose. Those runs are also paced more slowly than runs on your own account, and that pacing cannot be turned down. Please use this for your own archive, and respect the people whose work you save. ━━ PRIVACY ━━ • No account, no server, no analytics, no ads • Nothing you collect or download is uploaded anywhere — it stays in your browser, and you can delete all of it at any time from the dashboard • Requests go to the six supported sites and their media servers only, from your own logged-in sessions, and only when you press something • On LinkedIn and Facebook nothing is requested at all — everything the button offers is read from…
