Read full description

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.

Camera Metadata Border turns hidden EXIF data into clean photo frames for photographers who want camera settings to stay visible in the final image. Pick a photo from your library, choose a frame style, and export a polished image with metadata such as camera model, lens, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, capture date, and optional location handling. Everything is rendered on your device, so your photos do not need to be uploaded to a server or tied to an account. WHY PHOTOGRAPHERS USE IT - Share the settings behind a favorite shot - Create clean camera-setting borders for social posts, portfolios, prints, and photo challenges - Keep lens, exposure, and date information attached to exported images - Build a consistent look across a set of photos - Preserve privacy by removing exact GPS data by default EXIF AND CAMERA METADATA The app reads common photo metadata and formats it into a readable border instead of leaving it buried in a file inspector. Use it as an EXIF viewer when you want to check the details, then turn those details into a finished frame. FRAME STYLES Start with Museum White for a classic gallery-style mat. Pro unlocks additional looks including Pitch Black, Minimal Center, Gradient Veil, Noir Strip, and Blueprint. Each style is designed to make camera information legible without overwhelming the photo. BATCH EXPORT Export up to 50 framed photos at once with a consistent metadata layout. Useful for shoots, travel sets, client selects, and social posts where every image should carry the same clean camera-notes style. MANUAL METADATA EDITING Some photos, scans, shared files, or edited exports have incomplete EXIF data. Fill in or correct missing fields before you export so the final frame still includes the right camera story. CAMERA PROFILES Save reusable camera metadata presets for manual lenses, vintage cameras, film scans, screenshots, or edited files. Profiles make it faster to apply consistent information across multiple exports. PRIVACY FIRST Your photo library stays on your device. The app does not require an account and does not upload your images to a cloud service. Exact GPS location is stripped from exports by default, with controls to remove, approximate, or keep location metadata when needed. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pro to remove ads, unlock five extra frame styles, and enable batch export.
