FramelyAR lets you see exactly how a frame will look on your wall — before you spend a penny. Point your phone at a picture, poster, or painting already on your wall and try a different frame on it. Or frame a photo straight from your library and hang it on any blank wall, life-size. FramelyAR finds the edges for you (or tap the corners yourself), then wraps a true-to-life frame around it, anchored to your wall. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Reframe a picture, poster or painting that's already hanging — try a new look in seconds • Frame a photo from your library and hang it on a blank wall in AR • Smart edge detection finds your picture; corners auto-square so frames hang straight • Choose from 14 finishes — oak, walnut, matte black, gallery white, antique gold, brushed brass and more • Pick standard sizes (13x18 up to 70x100 cm) and mat borders • Compare styles side by side • Save framed previews to Photos and share Stop guessing whether a frame suits your space. See it framed, then decide. Framely Pro is a one-time unlock that opens every finish and size, plus watermark-free exports.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: InstaPrint at none against FramelyAR's 1. InstaPrint also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). FramelyAR's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
