Your Creative Portrait Studio — Pixaroo Two capture modes, AI background removal, and a studio full of creative effects. Whether it's a solo portrait or a triple-frame composition, Pixaroo gives you the tools to make every shot stand out. TWO CAPTURE MODES Choose Single Portrait for one stunning photo, or Triple Frame for a three-photo composition. Each mode adapts the entire editing and export pipeline to your needs. AI BACKGROUND REMOVAL Advanced Vision AI separates you from the background with a single tap. Clean, precise segmentation powers every effect below. CREATIVE EFFECTS Go bold with Neon Glow around your subject, add dreamy Bokeh Shapes (circle, heart, star, diamond), or fill your background with Pattern styles — stripes, checkerboard, dots, and more. Pick your own colors for every effect. CUSTOM BORDERS & STYLING Add sticker borders in any color with solid, dotted, or dashed line styles. Adjust corner radius and margins for the exact look you want. 8 LAYOUT PRESETS Triple Frame mode offers 8 card layouts: aligned, staggered, cascade, vertical stack, and more. Find the perfect arrangement for your three shots. PRINT-READY EXPORT Export at 150 DPI for gallery-quality prints. Single portraits render at 5×7 ratio; triple frames at full panoramic width. Perfect for framing or gifting. SOCIAL MEDIA BANNERS One-tap export sized for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more. Add draggable text overlays with font and color customization. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add widgets to your home screen for instant access. One tap launches you straight into Single Portrait or Triple Frame capture — no navigating through menus.
