- Once you're logged in, select the source of the photos you want to use.
- You can choose to either replace selected layers with new Bitmap layers, or insert photos as pattern fills (useful for adding images to round shapes).
- If you're using Sketch at work, you might want to log out of Instagram when you're done.
Instagram makes photos available in three sizes.
SketchSquares Plugin will guess the image size you want to load based on the size of the layers you've selected. You can change this using the size menu.
Once you've installed the plugin you can trigger it using this shortcut: control + shift + i. You can change this shortcut (if it clashes with other plugins you may be using) by editing the first line of the Load Instagram Photos.sketchplugin file.
The SketchSquares Plugin will automatically check for updates when you run it, and will let you know when a new version is available for download. It will let you install the updated version directly from the plugin window.
Sketch 3.2.1 or later on OSX Yosemite.

The inspiration for the SketchSquares Plugin came from a post by @iansilber called Design Tools at Instagram.
Making this plugin was possible only through all the tricks I've learned from the awesome Sketch community. Thanks everyone!
