Fine-tune intensity to get the exact mood you want. ◆ DEVICE FRAME MOCKUPS Showcase your screenshots inside realistic iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Surface, and Studio Display frames. Pick from beautiful gradient backgrounds or solid colors to complete the look. ◆ PRECISION ADJUSTMENTS Exposure, contrast, saturation, highlights, shadows, and full HSL control. Every slider is non-destructive — experiment freely. ◆ TEXT, STICKERS & WATERMARKS Add stylish text overlays with 15+ fonts, emoji stickers, location stamps, and repeating watermark patterns. Position, scale, and rotate with precision. ◆ CROP & TRANSFORM Free-form or locked-ratio cropping, rotation, and flip. Crop once in the editor and carry it through to batch and grid modes seamlessly. ◆ EXPORT IN FULL QUALITY Save to your Photos library in JPEG (with quality slider) or PNG at full resolution. What you see is what you get. ◆ ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription. Pay once, unlock Pro forever — including all LUTs, fonts, device frames, grid layouts, batch export, and custom LUT import.
