Simple Designer — for people who want a beautiful photo, not a design lesson. Three steps: pick a photo (or take one), tap a filter / write text / choose a ready-made phrase / add a frame, then save or share. Ready-made phrases for every occasion — Jumu'ah Mubarak, Eid Mubarak, Ramadan Kareem, congratulations, wedding, Hajj, newborn, graduation, condolences — in your language and in Arabic calligraphy, each in a chosen font you can change. "My phrases": any text you write — your family name, a signature, a favourite line — is saved with its font and colour to reuse with one tap. 11 Arabic fonts (Ruq'ah, Naskh, Thuluth, Kufi, Diwani, Nastaliq) plus 4 Latin display fonts, with outline and shadow. 9 adjustable filters. 8 elegant frames. Exports at full resolution — what you save is the original with your design, never a downscaled copy. Your photos never leave your phone. No account, no sign-up, no upload. Completely free. A small banner ad; watch a short ad to remove the small watermark for a day, or to hide ads for a day. Works on iPhone and iPad. Interface in nine languages: Arabic, English, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu, Persian, Spanish and French.
