Take better photos without learning photography. PhotoHint stands next to you like a photographer friend and tells you where to stand, how high to hold your phone and which way to turn so the light is right โ one calm tip at a time, with an arrow you can follow without reading a word. "Crouch down a bit โ their legs will look longer." "The light's behind them โ step around so it lands on their face." "Stretch your arm out โ up close, phones make noses look bigger." PICK WHAT YOU'RE PHOTOGRAPHING โข A face โ camera at their eye level, light on their face, eyes in the right place โข Head to toe โ the height that makes legs look long, room under their feet โข A thing โ straight over the top or down at its level, never the accidental half-lean โข A view โ phone on its side, nothing leaning, the horizon out of the middle SHOWS YOU HOW FAR, NOT JUST WHICH WAY Arrows point where to move. When you need to tip or twist the phone, a bar slides into place and turns green the moment you're there. SELFIES TOO Flip to the front camera and the coaching changes with it. FULL CAMERA CONTROLS โ FREE Flash, zoom, tap to focus, brightness, grid, self-timer, 4:3 / 16:9 / 1:1 and front or back camera. FREE TO TRY, ONE PAYMENT TO KEEP Your first three photos are free. PhotoHint Pro is a one-time purchase โ no subscription โ that removes the limit, takes the shot for you the moment everything is right, and adds AI-written tips tailored to how you're holding the phone. PRIVATE Your photos never leave your phone. The camera coaching runs on your device. Pro's AI tips send only a short text description of the moment โ never an image โ and no account is needed.
