GridQuilt is a focused image tool for splitting photos, creating collages, and making long screenshots. Organize chat history, web pages, tutorials, receipts, and social media images with a fast, local workflow. Key features • Long screenshot stitching Select consecutive screenshots and automatically remove overlapping areas as they are stitched into one long image. Open any seam for precise manual adjustment when needed. • Scrolling screen capture Use the system screen broadcast to capture scrolling content and create a long screenshot. Frames are analyzed on your device and are not uploaded to a server. • Grid image splitting Split one photo into 2×2, 3×3, and other grid layouts. Adjust grid size, spacing, aspect ratio, and shapes for social media layouts and image slicing. • Photo collages Combine multiple photos into horizontal, vertical, or grid layouts. Adjust spacing, color, ratio, and crop position. • Flexible export Export as PNG, JPEG, HEIC, or PDF. Save to Photos, export to Files, or share with the system share sheet. Privacy first Photo processing, screen-recording frame analysis, and long screenshot stitching happen locally on your device. Screen capture starts only after you explicitly confirm the system screen broadcast. Core features are available to use. GridQuilt Pro adds larger grids, higher output limits, and higher-quality screen-recording long screenshots.

▶ Turn the real world into your canvas for 3D voxel pixel art. ▶ AR Builder lets you create, edit, and explore colorful 3D voxel creations in both augmented reality and a dedicated 3D editing mode. Start with a blank project or choose an editable template, then build your design cube by cube with flexible voxel tools. ▶ In AR Mode, find a real-world surface, place your workspace on a table or floor, and start creating directly in your surroundings. Move around your model freely and edit it naturally from different angles. ▶ Prefer to build without the camera? Switch to 3D Mode to create and edit your voxel pixel art more comfortably while helping save battery. ▶ Use Pencil for precise building, Line for straight rows of blocks, or Rectangle to quickly create larger shapes and areas. With Layer Build Mode, you can lock a specific height layer for cleaner and more precise construction. ▶ Build faster with flexible editing tools. Tap or drag with Pencil, preview and place straight lines, or use Rectangle to create multiple blocks at once. ▶ Switch to Break mode for more control when editing your design. Remove individual blocks with Pencil, break entire lines, or clear rectangular areas while previewing the result before making changes. ▶ Customize your creation with different colors, and use Undo or Redo whenever you want to adjust your design. ▶ Walk around your creation and view it from every angle. Move, rotate, and scale the entire project with smooth AR interaction, or relocate it to another real-world surface in your surroundings. ▶ Use the AR ruler to measure your creation directly in augmented reality. ▶ Save your projects and continue editing them anytime. When your creation is ready, export a smooth 360° MP4 video or export your voxel creation as a real 3D USDZ model, making it easy to share, preview on Apple devices, or use with compatible AR apps. • Start with a blank project or editable voxel templates. • Build with Pencil, Line, and Rectangle tools. • Lock a specific height with Layer Build Mode. • Tap or drag with Pencil to build multiple blocks quickly. • Use Line to create straight rows of blocks. • Use Rectangle to quickly create larger shapes and areas. • Preview lines and areas before placing them. • Break individual blocks, lines, or rectangular areas. • Preview blocks before removing multiple cubes. • Undo and Redo your changes. • Customize colors freely. • Build in AR Mode directly in the real world. • Switch to 3D Mode to build without keeping the camera on. • Walk around and explore your creation in 360°. • Move, rotate, and scale your project smoothly in AR. • Relocate your creation between real-world surfaces. • Measure your creation with the AR ruler. • Save, load, and manage multiple projects. • Export smooth 360° MP4 videos. • Export real 3D USDZ models. • Create fully offline — anytime, anywhere.
