Frame your photos with the real camera data behind them — EXIF, Fujifilm recipes, camera brand logos, and saveable style presets. Every photograph tells two stories: the artistic vision and the technical craft. Shutternote frames both, in a design as considered as your work. REAL TECHNICAL DATA Display genuine EXIF as proof of your craft — camera, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, date, and GPS location with elegant reverse-geocoded formatting. FUJIFILM RECIPES Automatically extract film simulation recipes from Fujifilm JPG/HIF files — film mode, grain, color chrome, white balance, and tone — beautifully presented, or switch to standard EXIF. STYLE PRESETS Dial in a look, save it, and reapply it in a tap. Begin with curated packs — Clean, Editorial, Technical, Fuji Card, and Minimal Mono — then build, reorder, and favorite your own. CAMERA BRAND LOGOS Add an authentic maker's mark to any frame. 20 brands including Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Panasonic, Hasselblad, DJI and GoPro — each with light and dark variants tuned per frame. LAYOUTS FOR EVERY LOOK Minimal, Classic, Full, and Split. Custom fonts including DM Mono and DM Sans, adjustable border widths, and full color control. SIRI, SHORTCUTS & THE ACTION BUTTON Say "Frame Last Photo," or map it to your Action button, to turn your most recent shot into a finished frame instantly — with an optional preset. SHARE ANYWHERE Post directly to Instagram Stories, or frame any photo from any app with the Shutternote share extension. MADE FOR YOUR WORKFLOW Recent images gallery, batch processing for consistent sets, and high-resolution export that preserves your original image quality and metadata. A Liquid Glass interface with translucent panels and controls that pick up the colors of your photo. BUILT FOR IPAD A purpose-built editor on the big screen. Landscape splits into preview on the left and scrollable controls on the right, with full-screen modals for aspect ratio, batch export, and Pro. Designed for photographers who believe technical mastery deserves to be showcased alongside artistic vision.

Border Pro is the photographer’s tool for adding beautiful, precise borders to your photos — whether you shoot on iPhone, mirrorless, or film. Built for people who care about their images, Border Pro preserves your EXIF data on every save. Your camera model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and date all stay intact. BORDERS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Borders are calculated as a percentage of your image, so they stay perfectly consistent across every aspect ratio and resolution — from a phone snap to a 102MP medium format file. PRINT YOUR SHOOTING DATA Turn on Metadata Print and your camera data is printed directly onto your border — just like a lab print. Choose from 20 fonts including elegant scripts, classic serifs and clean sans-serifs. Set the colour to auto or pick any custom colour. Print on any edge — bottom, top, left or right — with the weighted border following automatically. COLOUR BORDERS Choose from curated classic tones, vibrant presets, or sample any colour directly from your photo using the built-in eyedropper with magnifier loupe. Save up to 6 custom colours for quick access. SHAPE YOUR BORDERS Control each corner independently — from fully rounded to square, mixed, or anything between. Create arches, D-shapes and compositions that are entirely your own. SOCIAL MEDIA READY Export to Instagram square, portrait, landscape or Story/TikTok formats with a single tap. Preview the canvas before you save. EXPORT YOUR WAY Choose JPEG, HEIC or lossless PNG. Set your own quality level. Your images, your format.
