## What is Inset?

Inset wraps your photos in beautiful margins and finishes them like gallery artwork. Layer frames—each with its own color, width, and ratio—for a look that's all your own.

FRAME IT YOUR WAY
• Stack as many frames as you like, each with adjustable color, width, and aspect ratio.
• Fit 1:1, 4:5, 4:3, 3:2, or 9:16 without cropping your photo—the margin matches the ratio.
• Match Photo keeps your original ratio with even margins on all sides.
• Free crop to choose exactly what to show.
• Save presets and reuse your signature look in one tap.
• Export at full resolution, straight to your photo library.

INSET LAB (PAID)
• Frame and export videos with color or Creative Frames, crop and rotation controls, original duration and audio preserved (up to 1080p/30 fps).
• Add creative frames — film, polaroid & 35mm — right onto your photo.
• Frame multiple photos at once.
• Choose a yearly or monthly auto-renewable subscription (each with a 7-day free trial), or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in your local currency on the App Store.
• A subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage in Settings > your Apple Account > Subscriptions.

### 3/5 — Great Start

*2026-07-26*

Nice app. 
Please fix the bug that prevents me from selecting multiple images. 
Looking forward to more frames

Thanks

### 2/5 — 悲しい

*2026-07-02*

フレームのレイヤーが出ません。。

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます。不便をおかけしてしまい申し訳ありません。
このレビューはバージョン1.2.0でのご利用として確認しました。フレームのレイヤーが表示されない・見つけづらい状態について、こちらでも確認し改善を進めます。
もし可能でしたら、アプリ内の「設定 > サポート」から、端末名・iOSバージョン・発生した画面や操作を送っていただけると原因確認の助けになります。

### 3/5 — 便利

*2026-06-13*

エクスポートオプションを付けて欲しい。書き出すファイルの種類や、圧縮率が選べるともっと使いやすくなると思います。

### 5/5 — シンプルで良い

*2026-06-11*

直感的で使いやすいです。
文字入れ機能もあれば無敵アプリですね、期待してます。

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2026-06-09*

枠の幅や色味、背景まで好みに変えられるのはありそうでなかったので重宝しそうです(^^)

### 4/5 — いいけど､､､

*2026-06-07*

写真位置が任意で変えられたらパーフェクト！

### 3/5 — 惜しい…

*2026-06-07*

機能は申し分なしです。
フレームを付けるアプリって、画質が著しく落ちたり、写真の周りに枠をつけたいのに内側にたける(四隅が削られる)選択肢しか無かったりと、どれも不便でしたが、こちらのアプリはフレーム、それとは別に背景紙も設定、また縦横比調整もできて、画質も落ちない…ほぼ完璧だと思います。ただ2点、マイナスがあり、空のグラデーションなどの写真をこのアプリにかけると、なぜかトーンジャンプがかなり出てきてしまいます(元データはもちろん全く出ていないのに)。
また、Exif情報が消え去るので、オリジナルのデータを見ないと設定等がわからないのが不便だなとは思いました。後者は最悪なくても大丈夫ですが、前者の修正が無いと使えないなという感じです…他が完璧なので、非常に惜しいと思います。

### 5/5 — シンプルにフレームに特化

*2026-06-07*

うるさくないフレームがよい。

ダブルマット風のフレーム設定もかんたん。色も写真に合わせて選べる。

欲を言わせてもらえると、上下はセンターだけでなく、上にオフセットできるといいな。

このアプリでウォーターマークが入れられれば、なお良し。

### 5/5 — ありそうでなかった神アプリ

*2026-06-07*

普段Instagramに投稿する白枠をつけて投稿しているのですが、スマホで白枠をつけられるアプリで気に入るアプリがこれまでなかったので、大変助かりました！
既にあるかもしれないですが、以前設定した白枠・黒枠の範囲の比率を保存できると更に使いやすくなると感じました！

### 4/5 — 手軽に枠付

*2026-06-07*

以前まで使っていた枠付の編集アプリでは、1つしか付けられなかったところ、こちらのアプリだといくつも枠を重ねることができるところが良いです
プリセットとして保存したり、フレームの幅や色を変更したり、操作が分かりやすく直感的なのも良いところ
一部、枠の幅を動かすときに動作がもっさりする部分があるのでアップデートで改良されることを祈っています(iPhone 17pro iOS 26.5.1)
それを踏まえても使用感がいいので、乗り換え決定しました！
ありがとうございます！
