Shoot once, post everywhere. Capture a single photo or video and instantly export it in every format you need: square (1:1), portrait (9:16), landscape (16:9), and Instagram feed (4:5). Smart subject tracking keeps your subject in frame across all crops, powered by on-device ML with options from quick first-frame detection to smooth per-frame tracking. Built for creators who want one take, every ratio, zero hassle. YOUR SUBJECT, ALWAYS IN FRAME Your subject stays perfectly centered in every crop — automatically. For video, choose how closely the camera follows: subtle, moderate, or dynamic tracking, and preview the result in real time before you export. Powered by Apple's Vision framework and on-device ML. CRISP EXPORTS UP TO 8K Get sharp 4K and 8K output from any crop thanks to on-device ML upscaling. Choose your file format — JPEG, HEIC, or PNG for photos; H.264, HEVC, ProRes 422, or ProRes 4444 for video — set your quality, and export every format at once or one at a time. CAPTURE AND EDIT ANYWHERE Crop and reframe right inside Photos without leaving your library. Launch the camera from your Lock Screen with Camera Control or Control Center. Automate with Siri and Shortcuts. Sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. Flipside runs natively on all three.
