Square Share is a personal photo studio and archive for people who care about their images, not social media metrics. Import your favorites, fine-tune them with cinematic filters and custom overlays, and share on your terms โ or keep them in your own private collection. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ IMPORT Pick photos from your library. Choose your preferred import quality โ from original resolution to optimized sizes for quick sharing. EDIT Crop to the perfect ratio (square, 4:5, 16:9, and more). Apply one of 10 cinematic filters. Adjust scale, rotate, and add drop shadows for a polished look. OVERLAY Add text, dates, locations, or even the weather from the day the photo was taken. Choose from 10 font families with full control over weight, size, color, and shadow. Drag overlays anywhere. Save your favorite layout for next time. ORGANIZE Sort by date, location, or tags. Filter by time period, city, country, or content โ people, animals, nature, food, architecture, and more. Powered by on-device AI that respects your privacy. SHARE Export finished photos with all edits baked in. Send to your favourite social media channels, Messages, email, AirDrop, or anywhere โ one at a time or in batches.
