Based on the legendary XPAN with its unique cinematic panoramic 65x24 images, XP4N turns any scene into a movie set; every shot into a movie still. - Shoot in the amazing 65:24 cinematic aspect ratio - Simulate 8 distinct film types (some inspired by popular film types, such as Cinestill 800T) - NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO IN-APP-PURCHASES! - Use all available lenses - Haptic and visual feedback when taking pictures - Use volume up key as shutter button - EV compensation by swiping - Access to the high-resolution sensor (if available and enabled in settings) - Option to save as lossless HEIF files - Saves EXIF and GPS data in photos This app is designed to simulate the cinematic qualities of the XPAN, including emulation of 8 distinct film stocks that are often paired with this camera: NIGHT MODE Based on the Cinestill 800T film character with its moody teal cast and signature "halation" (red halos) around bright spots in the image. BALANCED MODE Inspired by Vision3 250D film stock, with its versatile personality and typical Hollywood-style color and contrast curves. DAYLIGHT MODE Based on the popular Portra 400 film; soft and warm hues and moderate contrast profile. Great for skin tones and dreamy landscapes. GRITTY MODE Inspired by the Lomography Metropolis film, which adds a "bleached" look that is reminiscent of gritty 90s movies. BLACK & WHITE MODES Following the characteristics black & white films, one mode offers a punchy and contrasty B&W style, while the other is soft and dreamy. NEON NIGHT (NEW) Enhances bright spots in night photos and adds vibrant, saturated glows for a "cyberpunk" vibe ETHEREAL (NEW) Classic soft focus mode, without the need to put grease on your lens! XP4N is consciously made to be the ultimate one-trick-pony. A point and shoot camera with only a single button: the shutter button. The internal image processing engine does the rest, based on your preferred film mode setting. (so don't expect deep camera controls... ;-). The resulting images are carefully tuned to have the pleasant silky quality of film and to get away from the oversharpened, hyper-punchy look typical of today's digital cameras.

FramePull finds every cut in your video and pulls stills, clips and GIFs out of it — right on your iPhone or iPad. Load a video from your library or from Files. FramePull analyses every single frame and marks each cut on the timeline, frame-exact, with no drift. Too many cuts, or too few? Sensitivity has three settings, and you can re-run detection at any time. MARK WITH YOUR THUMB IN, STILL and OUT as large buttons. Markers snap onto the nearest cut when you are close to one, and the OUT point lands exactly one frame before it, so the cut frame never ends up inside your clip. Order does not matter: IN then OUT, or OUT then IN. GENERATE IN ONE TAP One tap turns the detected cuts into a still per scene, placed in the middle of each. Clips can span one, two, three or four scenes, so you get short sequences that keep their cuts instead of being chopped apart by them. SWIPE INSTEAD OF TICKING BOXES Everything you marked comes back as a card deck. Swipe right to keep, left to delete. Stills show the exact frame; clips loop right there in the card. BUILD GRIDS FOR STORIES Arrange stills and clips into a 1x1 up to 3x2 grid at 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 or 16:9. Auto Fill picks a set for you and lays it out in timeline order; tap Re-roll for a different set. Pan and pinch inside any cell to reframe it. Grids of stills render as JPEG, and any grid containing a clip renders as video — 2160x3840 for 9:16. EXPORT Stills as JPEG, PNG or TIFF. Clips as MP4 from 480p to 4K, muted if you like. GIFs too. Add 4:5 and 9:16 crops for feed and story. Save straight to your photo library, or into a folder of your choice in Files, sorted into stills, gifs and videos. NO INTERNET, NO ACCOUNT Everything happens on your device. No uploads, no cloud, no account, no subscription. BUY ONCE, USE EVERYWHERE FramePull for Mac is included in the same purchase. The Mac version additionally offers LUT support for .cube files. Requires iOS 16 or later.

FramePull Pro's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
