Reframe vs Glass Half Full

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.

A powerful photo editor designed with film in mind. Edit your everyday photos and camera RAW files, try the colour of real film on them, and turn film negatives into finished pictures, with each frame found, cropped and straightened for you. Everything happens on your device, with no account and no subscription. EDIT YOUR PHOTOS Choose Edit photos to bring in JPEG, HEIC, TIFF or camera RAW files from Files or Photos, several at a time. RAW files are developed from their sensor data, with any lens corrections they carry. Start with Auto, then adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, clarity and dehaze. Set white balance, shape tone and colour with curves, fine-tune eight colour ranges with the colour mixer and grade shadows, mid-tones and highlights with colour wheels. Crop, straighten and correct perspective, reduce noise, sharpen, take out colour fringes and remove dust with the repair brush. TRY A FILM ON YOUR PHOTO Choose a film and see it on your own photo first. Natural films are modelled on real film stocks, with their grain and halation, and you can shoot them under or over and push or pull the development. Nostalgic films are softer and dreamier, for a light, airy feel. FIND YOUR LOOK Choose looks across colour, cinema and black and white, from natural palettes and cinema grades to selenium toning and lith prints. Browse them all on your photo and set each one's strength. BRING YOUR FILM TO LIFE Photograph your negatives with a camera and light source, import the scans and choose the film type. Glass Half Full finds the picture area, crops and straightens it, and converts colour or black-and-white negatives into positives. Convert one frame at a time or a whole roll at once. Choose a clean standard conversion, a lab scanner's look measured from real scans, or a print on photographic paper or cinema film. Slides have their own workflow too. WORK ON JUST ONE AREA Brighten a face, darken a distracting background or bring back a bright sky with masks. Draw linear and radial gradients, paint with a brush, or select by colour or brightness. Masks work on digital photos and converted film alike. FINISH IT LIKE A PRINT Add grain measured from real film scans, halation and a vignette. Put the photo on a strip of film with its edge lettering and frame numbers, or print it on paper, from cotton and baryta to newsprint, in soft window light. MORE TOOLS Lay photos and text across several slides for seamless carousel posts. Layer up to nine photos into a multiple exposure. Plan, time and log your film development, with times from the makers' data sheets. ONE PHOTO OR A WHOLE ROLL Edit single photos, keep film scans together in rolls and gather photos from anywhere in your library into folders. Mark picks and rejects, copy settings across a set and export in batches. Save your settings as recipes to reuse, or share them as files and recipe cards. KEEP YOUR ORIGINALS Edits are saved separately and never change your imported originals. Compare with the original at any time and undo any change. Export a JPEG to share or a 16-bit TIFF for further editing, then save it to Files or Photos, or share it. Back up your library as a ZIP archive and restore it whenever you need to. RAW support depends on your camera. On a Mac with Apple silicon, Glass Half Full runs as its iPad app, with mouse, trackpad and keyboard controls, zoom buttons and keyboard shortcuts. TRY IT WITH YOUR OWN PHOTOS Import and edit as much as you like for free, and export up to 12 photos at full quality with no watermark. Re-export those photos whenever you like, including in other formats. A one-time Full Unlock removes the export limit. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac with Apple silicon, with Family Sharing included. No subscription or expiry. I’m Sam, the developer behind Glass Half Full.
