FRAYMIN turns your photos into something you'd actually want to hang on a wall, or send to someone who matters. Wrap a photo in paper. Add a handwritten note. Draw across the whole image with a real pen. Save your favorites and arrange them on a cork board, a fridge, or a brick wall. Ready to post, print, or keep. It's the feeling of writing on a photo, without ruining the original. —— FRAME IT Nine paper styles to pick from: Classic, Square, Instax, Postcard, Receipt, Gallery, Scrap, Film 1, and Film 2. Choose square, portrait, or original aspect. Use the film styles for a textured negative-frame look, with optional Original, B&W, or Negative photo looks. Export clean, or drop it on a 9:16 backdrop in white, gray, black, gradients, or any color you like. MARK IT Type a note in one of six hand picked marker fonts. Pick from classic ink colors or choose your own custom color. The text auto fits, moves naturally, and stays easy to place. Or switch to draw mode and sketch anywhere across the photo. Pen, eraser, adjustable stroke, smoothing, full undo and redo. SAVE YOUR STYLES Found a combination that feels right? Save it as one of your My Styles. Keep favorite paper, font, ink, backdrop, and film-look settings ready for next time. Long-press a saved style to rename or delete it. COLLAGE IT Grab a handful of your saved Polaroids and build a collage. Five layouts: Pile, Grid, Strip, Hero, and Contact. Real backdrops: Cork, Brick, Fridge, plus solid colors and gradients. Pin them, tape them, shuffle the magnets until it feels right. GALLERY Every Polaroid you've saved, always one tap away. Revisit, edit, duplicate, or pull a few into a new collage. SHARE IT Save to your camera roll or share directly. Classic format or 9:16 for social. Your call. —— Simple. Tactile. Yours.
