About

Shotspec

Features
Read full description

Add a clean frame to your photo with the camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO — read from the photo's own camera data (EXIF), right on your iPhone or iPad. Shotspec opens the ORIGINAL file, so the details your camera recorded are really there: pick a photo from your library or open a camera file from Files (JPG, HEIC, DNG and the camera RAW formats iOS can open). The frame is added AROUND the photo — your picture is never covered or cropped. • FIVE LAYOUTS — Bar (camera and lens on the left, settings on the right), Instant (a deep bottom border with a centred caption), Gallery (a thin even border with a small spaced caption), Minimal (one quiet line) and Film (a dark border with edge-print type and your own film-stock line). • YOUR STYLE — white, cream, gray, charcoal or black frames; automatic, dark, gray, white or amber text; light, regular or bold type; a border-size slider. • SOCIAL SHAPES — keep the original shape or reach 4:5, 1:1 or 9:16 by adding border, never by cropping. • PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTATION — f/1.8, 1/250 s, 0.5 s, 30 s, ISO 400, 35 mm and the 35 mm equivalent for phones and crop sensors. Duplicated or corporate camera names are tidied. • FILL IN THE GAPS — anything the file doesn't carry stays hidden (never "0 mm"), and you can type your own camera, lens or settings, plus a custom line for a place, a film stock or your name. Show or hide the date taken. • KEEPS THE FILE — the saved photo is full resolution, keeps its camera data and color (sRGB or Display P3), and you choose whether its location data stays. JPG or HEIC. • PRIVATE — everything happens on your device. No account, no upload. Camera names are written as text; no camera-maker logos are added. A photo with no camera data (a screenshot, an edited copy) shows empty fields until you type the values. Picking a photo and previewing every layout and option are free. A one-time purchase unlocks saving and sharing the framed photo. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Takeray at none against Shotspec's 1. Takeray also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Shotspec's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
