Reframe makes it easy to create polished image layouts for posts, carousels, and multi-page spreads in just a few taps. No subscriptions. No ads. CHOOSE A LAYOUT Start with a layout that matches your idea. Use Single to feature one standout image. Use Split to turn one image into a seamless multi-page spread that swipes across a carousel. Use Rows or Columns for before-and-after shots or to show multiple photos together. Use Grid to display a collection or photo series. CUSTOMISE THE PAGE Match your layout to any platform or style. Pick the aspect ratio you need so your post fits where you’re uploading. Adjust frame size for a bit of breathing room around your images. Choose a background color that complements your photos. Add a clean border for a polished, gallery-style finish. APPLY SETTINGS YOUR WAY Keep every page consistent with shared settings. Or customize individual pages when you need more control. FILL THE FRAME Mix vertical, horizontal, and square photos in one layout without worrying about cropping (unless you want to!). Toggle Fill Page so your images expand to use all available space. Tap any image to select it, then drag to fine-tune the crop so the focus is exactly where you want it. PREVIEW YOUR LAYOUT Minimise the controls with one swipe and let your layout fill the screen. Review the final look before you export and post. ARRANGE YOUR SEQUENCE Plan your story from first swipe to last. Reorder photos and pages in your carousel to plan the sequence before exporting. EASY EXPORT Export every page at once with a single tap. Smart sizing options select the best resolution to preserve the details in your photos, or go fully custom and set the exact long or short edge size you need. Optionally include your photo’s original metadata. Choose JPEG for best compatibility or HEIC for smaller files with excellent image quality. PRIVATE PHOTO PICKER Reframe uses the built-in iOS photo picker. Only the photos you explicitly select are shared with the app, keeping the rest of your library private. DESIGNED FOR iOS Reframe feels fast and responsive on iPhone, with smooth animations and subtle haptic feedback that makes editing layouts feel effortless and precise.

FrameRoll turns the fiddly part of posting a carousel into one clean pass. On iPhone and iPad. Start a roll on one, pick it up on the other: your rolls and photos sync through your own iCloud, with no account to make. Instead of slicing a wide image in a photo editor, guessing where each frame breaks and renaming files in order, you design the whole carousel on one continuous canvas. Frame boundaries and numbers stay visible the whole time, so what you see is what gets posted. DESIGN ON ONE CANVAS - A continuous strip with visible seams between frames - Move, resize and rotate photos freely across frame boundaries - Leave a photo free, fill its frame, or crop it to the frame - Divide any frame into up to 6 cells, in columns, rows or a grid - Per-frame background colours, snapping guides, and full undo and redo PICK THE RIGHT SIZE - Choose the frame shape when you start a roll, and change it later at any time - Portrait 3:4, 4:5 and 9:16, landscape 3:2 and 16:9, or square 1:1 - Each size says what it suits, from a feed post to a full-screen story - Save your own custom sizes PREVIEW, THEN EXPORT - Step through the carousel frame by frame, exactly as it will export - Export every frame at full resolution as JPEG, PNG or TIFF - Save to Photos, optionally in an album of its own in posting order, or share numbered files FREE TO START - Free: 60 photos in total to try it with, across as many carousels as you like. Exports are never limited. - FrameRoll Pro removes the limit, so you can import as many photos as you want. - Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time purchase. - Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - No account and no sign-in; editing and export work offline - Your photos never leave your device - No analytics, no tracking Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tryframeroll.com/privacy
