Too good for the camera roll? Give your best photos a retro instant frame and a few words, then watch them develop before your eyes. PollyFrame turns any photo into a Polly: a classic instant-film print with a caption in your own style. Pick a photo, write on it, and watch it slide out and clear, just like the real thing. Make it yours • Write anywhere on the print: ten fonts, six ink colors, snap-to-center guides • Retro film looks: Original, B&W, Instant, Sepia, Fade, Chrome • Frames in any color, or sampled straight from your photo with the eyedropper • 22 canvases, from Hearts and Botanical to seasonal ones for Christmas, Halloween, Easter and more • Drag and pinch to frame exactly the moment you meant Made for sharing Instagram-ready 4:5 exports at full resolution. Every Polly is saved and stays editable: change the caption next month, re-export in seconds. Free to use, Pro once PollyFrame is free to use, with a small watermark on your exports. Try every font, filter, color and canvas before you buy. PollyFrame Pro removes the watermark and unlocks them all for a single one-time purchase. No subscription. Ever. No account. No tracking. Your Pollys stay on your device and in your own iCloud. We never see them.
