## What is Imprint?

FIND YOUR BEST SHOTS. CLEAR THE REST.
Five nearly identical photos to get one good one. An edited copy saved next to its original. A library that quietly fills up with photos you'll never look at twice.

Imprint scans your library and groups the photos that look alike – bursts, retakes and near-duplicates – then suggests the best shot in each group. You confirm or change the choice, and Imprint clears the rest. One perfect photo instead of five.

KEEP THE EDIT. LOSE THE DUPLICATE.
Edit a photo in VSCO, Lightroom, Snapseed, Facetune or your favourite editing app and you're often left with two: the original and the edited copy. Imprint finds these pairs, works out which is which, and lays the edit back onto the original so you can remove the leftover copy. Two photos become one, and the edit stays.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL.
Scanning changes nothing. Every collection is shown to you, the best shot is only a suggestion, and nothing is deleted or altered until you say so. Compare photos side by side, zoom right in, and see at a glance which ones are favourites or already edited.

EVERYTHING IS REVERSIBLE.
Edits are applied non-destructively using Apple Photos technology, so your original is never lost and any change can be reverted at any time, directly in Photos. Deleted photos go to Recently Deleted, where they can be recovered for 30 days.

Some editing apps rewrite a photo's metadata, which makes automatic matching impossible. For those cases, Imprint lets you pick the pair yourself.

Features:

• Finds bursts, retakes and near-duplicate photos across your whole library
• Suggests the best shot in each group – you make the final call
• Pairs edited copies with their originals, and applies the edit back onto the original
• Side-by-side comparison with full-screen zoom
• Non-destructive edits that can be reverted at any time in Photos
• Manual pairing for photos that can't be matched automatically
• Works with edits from VSCO, Lightroom, Snapseed, Facetune and more
• Pull down to refresh – later scans only look at what's new
• Everything happens on your device – nothing is ever uploaded

Free for your first 20 photos. Unlock unlimited use with a simple one-time purchase. No subscriptions. Ever.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-09-14

Improved iCloud handling:
Imprint now shows download progress when photos need to be fetched from iCloud, with clear status updates through to applying the edit. Errors are also reported instead of leaving you wondering what happened.

Safer photo matching:
You can now swap incorrectly identified Original and Edited roles, with Imprint remembering the correction. Pairs based on weaker evidence are also clearly flagged for confirmation before changes are applied.

UI improvements:
Added a Liquid Glass bottom bar to the fullscreen view.

New sharing controls:
The photo viewer now includes a Photos-style Share button, letting you share photos at full quality with their original filename and metadata intact. The viewer controls have also been redesigned to match Apple's Photos layout.

### 2.0 — 2026-09-08

Imprint 2.0 is a new app. It scans your library for bursts, retakes and near-duplicates, suggests the best shot in each group, and clears the rest. It still finds edited copies and lays the edit back onto the original. Free for your first 20 photos, then a one-time unlock.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-21

UI & UX improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-17
