Photospec turns your finished photos and artwork into polished posts, carousels and reels. Add clean borders, build grids, overlay your camera settings, or bring a still image to life with smooth zoom and pan video, all in seconds. Your edit is done. Photospec takes care of the presentation, so you can get every format you need for Instagram and other social platforms without rebuilding each one by hand. Built for every kind of photographer. Whether you shoot landscapes, streets, portraits, travel or wildlife, Photospec helps you share your work the way it deserves to be seen. Nature photographers can even add species names and descriptions to their shots. Artists and creators use it too. Frame your paintings and illustrations, show off close-up details in a carousel, or create a slow pan across a finished piece for a reel. Tell the story behind every image. EXIF frames show the camera, lens and settings you used. Carousels give your detail shots room to be seen. Layouts bring photos and videos from the same shoot or project together on a single slide. Turn one image into a cinematic clip. Set your start and end framing, choose the duration and easing, then post it as its own slide or stitch several together into a reel. Restyle a whole set in moments. Save your look as a preset, swap images in and out, and export high-quality files ready to share. Your work stays on your phone. Everything is processed on-device, and Photospec never edits or generates your images with AI.
