About

FrameBox

Features
Read full description

Post the whole photo. FrameBox fits any photo or video into the exact size you post at, with a border, blur or colour around it instead of a crop. EXACT SIZES, NO CROP Pick where it's going: portrait post, square, Story / Reel, 4×6 print and more. The export is exactly that ratio, border included, so Instagram has nothing left to crop. MOVE IT WITH YOUR FINGERS Drag, pinch, twist and double-tap the photo. Straighten, rotate, flip or fit it. Snapping and a 1 px nudge pad put it exactly where you want it, and undo takes back any step. TEXT ANYWHERE Add several captions in six fonts, then drag, pinch and rotate them on the picture. Captions are saved into the exported image. ONE PHOTO, MANY POSTS Split a panorama into a seamless carousel, or a photo into a profile grid (3 wide, up to 5 rows), numbered and saved in posting order. BACKGROUNDS AND FRAMES Solid colour, blur or gradient backgrounds, rounded corners, shadow and an instant-photo frame. Save a style as a look and reuse it in one tap. VIDEO TOO Frame videos for Reels and Stories with the same tools. Sound is kept. BATCH Frame up to 20 photos with the same settings at once. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos are edited on your device and are never uploaded. No account. FrameBox only asks to add to your library when you save. FREE AND PRO Free: framing, borders, solid colours, text, sizes and 3 saves or shares a day. FrameBox Pro adds unlimited exports, blur and gradient backgrounds, video framing, carousels and profile grids, and batch framing. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or yearly); a free trial is shown only to eligible users. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
