Your trip photos, ready to post. Map, dates, and distance—added automatically. Trip photos tend to pile up in your camera roll. Where you took them, how you got around—the story of the trip doesn't come through in photos alone. With MapFrame, you just pick the photos. It reads where and when they were taken and turns them into a share-ready travel card with a map and route lines. ■ Pick photos, get a travel card Choose up to 12 trip photos. MapFrame reads the capture location and time, then builds a 4:5 card with a mini map, route lines, city names, dates, and total distance. ■ A 15-second reel from the same photos Export a vertical 9:16 reel, too. Your photos and the map move gracefully, following the template. ■ Routes are inferred automatically Walking, driving, trains, flights, and ferries are detected from distance and speed. Flight and ferry legs curve gently across the map. ■ Fix anything afterwards Rename places, reorder stops, change transport modes, pick from 6 route-line colors, toggle dates and distance, and zoom or reposition the main photo. ■ 15 templates to match the mood Journal, Glass, and Ticket are among the 5 free basics. Pro unlocks Film, Magazine, Minimal, Midnight, Sakura, Summer, Wrapped, and more. ■ Processed entirely on your device MapFrame never asks for photo library read permission—it only receives the photos you pick and builds your card on the device. Your photos are never sent to our servers. No ads, no tracking. — Made for — • People who post trip, outing, and event photos to social media • Anyone who wants "where it was taken" to be part of the story • Keeping travel memories in a form you'll want to revisit • Anyone careful about how their photos and location data are handled — Pricing — Free to download, with 3 free exports every month (5 basic templates). MapFrame Pro unlocks unlimited exports, no watermark, and all 15 templates. $3.99/month, $29.99/year ($2.49 per month), or a $69.99 one-time lifetime purchase.
