Frame it, then export a print-ready PNG. ZINE Lay out a poster or a two-page spread from 11 templates: your photo, a headline, colour blocks and a print feel such as Riso, Xerox or letterpress. IMPRINT One image, one method, one ink. Rebuild your photo as grainprint, stipple, linepress, glyphs, cyanotype and seven more. RUBBING AND WOODBLOCK 19 printing traditions from 8 countries, each laid out as a full sheet with its inscription, seal and mount: • Rubbing: black-gold and cicada-wing rubbings, cinnabar rubbing, gyotaku, Korean takbon, English brass rubbing • Woodblock: Yangliuqing and Zhuxianzhen New Year prints, ukiyo-e, senjafuda, Đông Hồ, lubok, Épinal, cordel woodcut, wood engraving and more TRAVEL PLATES (BETA) Set a travel photo beside the plate it was printed from: hand-coloured print, cyanotype, postage stamp, ticket and more. In Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every photo is processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account.
