Create your own badges and keepsakes with ease. Turn favorite characters, family photos, and pet portraits into memories you can hold. Bring photo cropping, text decoration, background editing, automatic layouts, and printing together in one app. No complicated design software or placing every photo by hand. • Flexible paper sizes Choose A4, A5, A6, or 5-inch, 6-inch, and 7-inch photo paper. Tap the current size on the home screen to switch. Create custom sizes in millimeters, save favorites, and automatically reuse your last selection. • Automatic layouts Add up to 50 photos. Arrange them automatically by paper size, shape, and finished dimensions, with a count of photos that won’t fit. Changing paper size rearranges the sheet without changing the finished size of your designs. • 21 shapes Circles, squares, triangles, stars, polygons, hearts, ovals, shields, drops, candy shapes, clouds, bookmarks, bells, tags, and more. • Precise sizing Set design size and spacing in millimeters. Save favorite sizes and remember settings for each shape. Adjust rounded corners, add dashed cutting guides, and optionally extend edge colors into the bleed area. • Individual photo editing Drag, zoom, rotate, and flip photos horizontally or vertically. In Edit mode, drag to swap photo positions. Make multiple copies at once. • Curved text and decorations Circular designs support full-circle, upper-arc, and lower-arc text, each with its own starting position, letter spacing, and edge distance. Other compatible shapes support text along the bottom edge. Add colors, bold text, shadows, symbols, and emoji. • Font choices Use built-in fonts such as MiSans, or import TTF, OTF, and TTC fonts from Files. • 28 photo filters Explore vivid, Japanese-inspired, black-and-white, retro, film, neon, and cinematic looks. Apply a style to all photos or adjust each individually. • Background effects and patterns On-device subject recognition keeps the subject sharp while you add adjustable blur, bokeh, motion, pixelation, or crystallization effects to the background. Replace backgrounds with dots, squares, triangles, hearts, or emoji. Customize colors and choose orderly or random arrangements. • Refine subject selections Use a brush or similar-color selection to add or remove foreground areas. Adjust edge softness for a natural blend. • Automatic saving Layouts and unfinished edits are saved locally so you can continue later. • Print and export Print with AirPrint or export PNG, JPEG, and PDF files at your selected paper size. Choose white or transparent backgrounds. PNG and PDF support transparency; JPEG uses white. For final printing, use PDF and “Actual Size / 100%” to avoid automatic scaling. • Designed for iPad Wide windows show preview and controls side by side. Layouts adapt to portrait, landscape, and Split View. Available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, German, French, Japanese, and Korean. No account required. Photo editing and subject recognition run on your device. The free version includes one print or export per day. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited printing and exporting. Turn what you love into something uniquely yours.

Your photos, your rules. PixBox is the file manager for your photo library — with AI tagging and face grouping built in, plus the batch power tools that one-by-one apps lack. Batch-select hundreds of photos, dedupe, compress, zip, and move them into nested folders, exactly like files on your computer. WHY PIXBOX BATCH, NOT ONE-BY-ONE Every photo cleaner makes you swipe or tap photos one at a time. PixBox lets you multi-select on a thumbnail grid and act on hundreds at once — delete, move, tag, compress, or share in a single step. REAL FOLDERS, LIKE FINDER Nest folders inside folders, cut/copy/paste between them. Zip a folder — or share it straight from the folder menu — with its subfolder structure intact. Your library stops being a flat wall of photos and becomes an organized file system. YOU APPROVE EVERY DELETE Most cleaners "helpfully" delete things for you — and that's how people lose wedding photos, cat videos, and years of memories. PixBox never auto-deletes. You select, you review, you confirm. Deletions go to Recently Deleted, so nothing disappears without your say-so. FIND & FREE UP SPACE - Duplicate detection — find near-identical and similar photos, keep the best automatically - Batch compression — resize and re-encode photos to reclaim gigabytes - Batch zip & share — package a shoot, a trip, or a project into one file - Share a folder — resize then zip a whole folder (subfolders kept), no leftover zip left behind SMART, BUT LOCAL - Face grouping — auto-cluster faces into people - Scene tags — indoor, outdoor, food, document, and 28 more - Location grouping — browse by country, state, city - Everything runs on-device. No cloud upload, no AI server, no account. THE PIXBOX PROMISE - One-time purchase. Less than one week of what subscription photo cleaners charge — permanently. - No subscription. No ads. No data selling. No tracking. - No account. We don't even ask your name, age, or gender. - Fully offline and private — your photos never leave your device. Stop tapping through your library one photo at a time. Treat it like a file system — with PixBox. Compatible with iPhone and iPad. Available in English, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch, Русский, and 繁體中文. END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT(EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
