Create app promotional graphics, frame your photos, and turn multiple photos into postcard layouts. Start with a template or a blank canvas, then bring your work together with smart backgrounds, canvas splitting, and batch export. DEVICE FRAMES FOR SCREENSHOTS & VIDEOS Add phone, tablet, computer, and watch frames to screenshots, photos, or existing screen recordings. Choose a device and adjust its position, size, and angle. Arrange multiple devices on one canvas to showcase different screens and use cases. PHOTO FRAMES Give your photos a different look with decorative frames. Adjust the crop and spacing to create framed compositions for travel photos, portraits, and everyday moments. MULTI-PHOTO POSTCARD LAYOUTS Arrange photos and text to make travel keepsakes, everyday photo stories, or greeting postcards. Bring several moments together in one shareable composition. SPLIT A CONTINUOUS CANVAS Arrange images, text, and backgrounds across one continuous canvas, then export it as 2 or 3 separate images. Create connected app promotional graphics and multi-panel displays that flow from one image to the next. SMART BACKGROUNDS Build a coordinated background from colors in your imported image, or use a blurred version of the image as a backdrop. Choose solid colors, gradients, or your own background image to refine the overall look. TEXT, ICONS & BADGES Add headings, captions, icons, and badges. Adjust text styles and colors to make important details stand out and keep your message clear. TEMPLATES & FLEXIBLE EDITING Start with a ready-made template and replace the images and text, or design your own layout on a blank canvas. Save frequently used layouts as custom templates for your next project. MULTIPLE CANVASES & BATCH EXPORT Import multiple images or videos, switch between canvases, and keep a series of designs consistent. Export your work in batches, with PNG and JPEG for images and MP4 and MOV for videos. Free templates are available, including selected photo-frame and photo-layout templates. Exporting designs with Pro features, split-canvas export, batch export and video export require a paid subscription or lifetime purchase. Adding Pro features to a free template also makes export require Pro.
