Matted

Matted fits any photo into any frame, without cropping a single pixel. Instagram now shows your grid at 4:5. TikTok, LinkedIn and every other platform want their own shapes too. Instead of cutting your photo down to fit, Matted pads it with a beautiful background, a mat, so the whole image always survives. WHY MATTED ⢠Nothing gets cropped, ever. The full image is always preserved. ⢠One-tap aspect ratios: square, 4:5 portrait, landscape, story, banner and more ⢠A built-in size catalogue covering 105 placements across 20 platforms, feeds, grids, covers, banners, thumbnails, with up-to-date pixel dimensions ⢠Adjustable border to give your photo room to breathe ⢠Rounded corners, two ways: soften the photo's corners, round the mat itself, or both BACKGROUNDS THAT LOOK INTENTIONAL ⢠Soft blur drawn from the photo itself, the classic blurred-background look, no second app needed ⢠Clean white or black mats ⢠Any custom colour you like ⢠Colour mix: generated mesh gradients in twelve palettes, with endless shuffles, every one unique to your photo MAKE IT YOURS ⢠Lift the subject off its background on device and drop it onto a mat ⢠Add a small signature or brand mark to sign your work ⢠Frame a photo hands free with Shortcuts and Siri PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠Everything happens on your iPhone, photos never leave your device ⢠No account. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. ⢠Full-resolution export, saved straight to your photo library ⢠HEIC or JPEG output, switches to PNG automatically when you round the mat's corners, so transparency is preserved Matted is built by one person, with a healthy assist from AI tools. There is a tip jar inside if the app saves you time. It unlocks nothing, because everything is already included. Frame it. Do not crop it. Matted.
