A clean border around your photo, in seconds. Pick a photo, choose a shape, export. That is the whole app. framed puts a quiet, precise border around a photo so it sits properly in a feed. No templates, no stickers, no learning curve. Open it and the defaults are already sensible: an 8% white border on a 1:1 square. Change what you want to change, then export. FRAME SHAPE Set the shape of the finished image: Original, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3 or 9:16. Each one has a portrait or landscape toggle, so 5:4, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 are there too. Original is available when you are framing a single photo. CROP SHAPE, SET SEPARATELY The window your photo sits in has its own ratio, independent of the outer frame. Leave it synced to the frame, or set it yourself for an off-square look. BORDER WIDTH One slider, 0% to 25% of the shorter side, in 1% steps, with a live readout. The preview moves as you drag. BORDER COLOR White or black. Nothing else to decide. POSITION YOUR PHOTO Drag to move the photo inside the window and pinch to zoom up to 5x. The photo always fills the window, so there are no empty gaps. UP TO NINE PHOTOS AT ONCE Add up to nine photos and frame them all with one setting, so a multi-photo post reads as a set. Each photo keeps its own position and zoom. A grid preview shows the whole batch as it will look. An alternating option flips the crop orientation on every other photo. EXPORT 720p or HD 1080p, measured on the longer side. Everything is handed to the standard iOS share sheet, so you can post, message, AirDrop or save it from there. A batch hands over every image at once. QUIET BY DESIGN No onboarding and no account. Nothing to sign in to. No ads. No watermark. No export limits and no time limits. Light and dark, following your system setting. Fully offline. Photos are processed on your iPhone and never leave it. framed contains no networking code at all. iPhone, portrait, iOS 17 or later.
