One of the most popular summaries and that people like to do the most at the end of the year is that of Instagram. The famous “Top Nine” gathers in the same image the 9 most important images of your last 12 months on the platform, based on the number of Likes it has garnered. A good way to take stock, post content to your account and remember your best posts. If you still don’t know how to do it, don’t worry: today we are going to give you the keys so that you have your Top Insta images with just a couple of clicks (or taps).
Top Nine, the famous summary of Instagram
We have already said it several times: December is coming and we all go crazy with summaries and reminders of how our year has been. This 2020 also has an added plus and that is that they have been 12 strange and, in many cases, very hard months that have left us almost 365 days difficult to forget . Among other things, we have spent more time at home than ever and perhaps even this has made you put imagination to the matter for your creations on Instagram. It may also be that this particular period has opened your eyes or made you rethink certain things and has given you to return to a new hobby that you have been showing on social networks and even to better value (and photograph) that sunset on the beach in the one you always passed.
Be that as it may, it is very likely that you have shared them in the form of images on the social network owned by Facebook, so you will surely like to remember it now thanks to Instagram’s Top Nine. Under this term are hidden the 9 best publications of your Instagram account, a summary that will show you which photos are the ones with the most “likes” in your account during the last 12 months. With the 9 thumbnails in a single image you can then do whatever you want: share them as a collage on the social network you want – it is usual to do it on Instagram itself, accompanied by the corresponding hashtag # topnine2020 – or save them on your reel for your own enjoyment and curiosity.
Whatever the destination of that Top Nine, today we are going to explain how to create it in very few steps and in a very simple way. Do not lose detail.
How to create your own Top Nine
From a web page
It is undoubtedly the most comfortable and simple way to do it since you only have to enter it, enter your data and wait for the collage to be assembled. For this we will use the free solution Creatorkit – Top Nine (it is the old Topnine.co, which is now part of a content creation platform), perfect for making this type of annual summaries.
These are the steps to follow to get your own Top Nine on the platform:
- Enter from your browser (from PC or on your mobile) in the link that you have right here
- Write your nickname or Instagram username
- Since the process can take several minutes, the web invites you to leave your email to be notified when the summary is ready. If you wish, enter your email and tap / click on “Get Top Nine”. If you don’t want to, tap on the button anyway and it will skip this step.
- Your 9 most popular photos of the year will appear -as we have indicated, it could take several minutes in which case, you will receive the aforementioned notice by email- along with other information of interest related to your account such as the number of images uploaded, the number of accumulated likes and the average of “Likes” you have per post.
- By clicking on the green “Download Now” button you will be able to download the image to publish it later wherever you want.
From an app for your smartphone
If you prefer to use an application on your mobile phone, you will have to download an available solution for it and install it on your phone. In the iOS and Android stores there are several available although possibly the most famous on both platforms is Top Nine for Instagram (2020). Still, as we say, it is not the only one to turn to. Since we are left with three (so you don’t go crazy), these are our favorites:
- Top Nine for Instagram (2020)
This solution is free and allows you to create your top nine with just a few taps, showing the number of likes it has in the corner of each image. The problem it presents? That introduces a watermark in the collage image that is only removed by going through the box. The price to do so is 1.09 euros.
- Best Nine -only on iOS-
This app is only available for iPhone and offers you many possibilities beyond the top 9 of the year. You can choose previous years, set a custom range and even have it throw you your 9 most popular photos of all time (since you opened an account on Instagram and uploaded the first image, whoops). These last two options, yes, are paid. The only problem we see is that it forces you to log into your account (password included) to proceed with the summary and we are not very in favor of giving such sensitive data to this type of app. Still, the last word is yours.
- Best Grid
Like Top Nine, with Best Grid you will have your top nine at hand just by entering your username and you have it completely free. When you proceed to obtain the summary, you will find the option with or without a watermark, with the condition that to remove it you only have to see an ad . There are also several different filters and frames available, in case you want to get creative with your collage – although obviously they are paid.
