## What is Vane?

Most apps just glue a photo and a video together. Vane asks first: where are you posting it?

Every place has its own rules. Some play Live Photos, some cut them to a still, some only take video. Vane knows them, makes your Live Photo to fit, and tells you why when something has to change — nothing gets trimmed, sped up or dropped behind your back.

MADE FOR WHERE IT'S GOING
• Photos, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, Pinterest, X — plus WeChat, rednote, Weibo and Douyin
• The right length, ratio and resolution for each, with the source and check date shown for every rule
• Places that don't play Live Photos get the video or GIF they do take: once, loop, bounce or reverse
• Save one edit to several places at once — each gets its own copy that fits

AN EDITOR FOR LIVE PHOTOS
• Trim, choose the cover frame at full source resolution, crop to any ratio
• Looks, film filters and a two-axis palette with skin-tone protection
• Frames that keep moving: white border, info bar with your camera and lens, film strip, instant-film prints
• Text, speed (0.5× / 2×), sound on or off, and music from your own files
• Re-edit an existing Live Photo — new length, new cover, new crop

CHECK & FIX
• "Why won't it move?" — Vane checks a Live Photo and tells you in plain words whether it will play, be adjusted, or needs to become a video
• One tap saves a repaired copy; the original is never touched

MORE THAN ONE
• Live collage: several Live Photos in one frame, all moving
• Sequence: string clips or Lives into one video with fades
• Batch: a whole set in one go, same destination

KEEPS WHAT MATTERS
• The original date, place and camera details travel with your Live Photo, so it lands on the right day in your library (you can turn this off)
• HEIC cover + HEVC video, with an H.264 option for older devices
• Motion Photo: one JPEG with the video inside, to send as a file

FITS IN
• Share a video from Photos straight to Vane
• Edit a Live Photo inside Photos with the Vane extension
• "Make a Live Photo" action for Shortcuts
• iPhone and iPad, with split view and Stage Manager

FREE, AND VANE PRO
Free, forever: make, edit and save one at a time to any destination — no watermark, no ads, no limit.
Vane Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription, and works with Family Sharing. It adds batch, collage, sequence and 9-grid, every frame and look, music, Motion Photo, and one-tap repair. (Checking is always free.) Price shown in the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No servers. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Everything happens on your device. You control photo library access; optional access is used to recover source videos or save a batch to an album.

*2026-10-29*

还是新出的软件好，ui都跟上新系统。操作也很方便，开发者回复和修改问题都很快，点赞👍

### 1/5 — 会发白，把原片色彩都破坏了

*2026-10-28*

不好用，估计自己都没用过

**Developer response:** 你好，如你所见，我们app内有很多社交媒体的选择，本意都是走社媒分享的路径。因此我们的色彩管线走的是社交媒体上通用的BT.709色彩管线，因此对于原相机的HDR等色彩的素材，不能保证100%还原。后续将开放保留原色彩的的功能，首批将开放导出到相册的选项。给你带来不便，深表歉意。

### 5/5 — 17 为什么保存后照片会变白啊

*2026-10-25*

视频改实况和实况拼图保存后都会自动变白，软件本身很好，界面简洁好看，功能也很实用

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈，也抱歉给你添麻烦了！问题已经找到：iPhone 17 拍的视频和实况默认是 HDR，Vane 保存时没有正确转换，导致画面发白、发灰。修复版本正在准备，下个版本会解决，更新后重新保存就正常了。如果还有问题，欢迎在「设置 › 联系我们」里找我们。
