PolaroidFrame turns your photos into instant, polaroid-style frames — fully offline, right on your device. ■ Instant polaroid look Pick a photo from your library or take one, and it drops into a classic white frame with the wide bottom margin of a real instant photo. ■ Frames and paper colors Choose from Classic, Square (instax-style), Wide and Rounded frames, and switch the paper color between white, cream, black and pastel to match your mood. ■ Handwritten caption & date stamp Add a note in the bottom margin using one of several handwriting fonts, pick your ink color, and stamp a retro camera-style date (with multiple formats) in the corner. ■ Reframe & film filters Pinch to zoom and drag to reframe the photo inside the border. Add a film-style filter — vintage warm, mono or faded — and give it a slight, playful tilt. ■ Collage mode Arrange 2–4 photos into one polaroid collage: stacked, side by side, a 4-photo grid or a 3-photo film strip. ■ Save & share in high resolution Export a crisp high-resolution PNG and save it to your photos or share it to any app in one tap. ■ Private by design All editing happens on-device. Your photos are never uploaded. No account, no login. Perfect for instax and chèki lovers, Y2K and retro aesthetics, and anyone who wants to keep their memories looking analog.
