"I want to add a note to the photo and save it as it is" - an app that can be used in such a case. Instead of writing text like a notepad, you can leave a photo + note as a single image. What can be done Put a note on the photo You can put text by attaching a memo belt under the photo you selected from the camera roll or the photo you took on the spot. Since it is saved as a single image, you can immediately recognize the "memo of that time" just by looking back at the album. It's OK without a photo You can also create "title card-style" images with only background color + notes without using photos. It can also be used as a slide cover or a piece for SNS. I can give you an image from anywhere If you send an image you are viewing in your browser, email, or other app to this app from "Share", you can add a note to that image and save it. It is convenient to use it, such as attaching a one-word note to a screenshot of the document. You can leave it with a date If you want to leave a "when is a memo", output it with a time stamp. It is also easy to use as a record and trace.
