AspectArc is a local-first aspect-ratio studio for creators who need one video or photo to fit every format without guessing where the important parts will land. NEW IN 3.0: COVER STUDIO Pull the best frame from a clip and turn it into covers and thumbnails for every format at once. Scrub to the moment you want, or tap Suggest and AspectArc samples the clip and ranks frames that are sharp, well exposed and show faces. Choose your ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, banners and more) and every cover is cropped around the detected subject. Save them all to Photos or share them in one tap. ONE PRICE, EVERYTHING INCLUDED No subscription, no watermark, no account. Multi-format resizing, subject-aware reframing, batch export and cover making are all part of the app. CONVERT ANY CLIP OR PHOTO Pick a clip or still, choose a target ratio, set the focal point and export a clean result. Fit and Fill modes, padding styles (blur, solid, gradient, mirror and source color), quality and codec controls, and trimming are built in. SMART REFRAME AspectArc detects faces and salient subjects on the device and plans the crop for every ratio so your subject stays in frame. The Reframe Inspector shows how much of the subject survives each crop. SAFE ZONES AND DELIVERY AUDIT Preview safe-zone overlays for common interface areas so titles and captions stay clear. Delivery Audit checks the setup before you render: format match, export resolution, safe-zone coverage, crop risk, duration and estimated size, with a readiness score and fixes. WORK FASTER Multi-ratio batch export, saved workflow presets, an offline format reference, and conversion history with CSV export. Demo media lets you try every workflow without importing personal photos. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All media is processed on the device. Photo Library access is requested only when you import media or save an export. Nothing is uploaded.

Record once. Get two videos — one portrait and one landscape. AspectTake captures the same moment in vertical 9:16 and horizontal 16:9, giving you two separate video files from a single recording. Frame both outputs live, press Record, and create footage for different screens without repeating the take. ONE TAKE, TWO FORMATS • Record portrait and landscape video at the same time • Receive two separate, synchronized video files • Preview both compositions while you record • Move the landscape preview anywhere on the screen • Tuck the preview against either edge when you need a clear view • Save both videos directly to Photos • Keep recordings inside AspectTake when Photos access is unavailable CAPTURE WITH CONFIDENCE Choose from the resolutions and frame rates supported by your iPhone, including up to 4K and 24, 30, or 60 fps on compatible devices. See an estimated recording size before you begin, enable the optional framing grid, use the flashlight when supported, and keep both formats composed throughout the take. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN Create a vertical version for short-form feeds, stories, mobile viewing, and social content. At the same time, capture a horizontal version for widescreen video, websites, presentations, interviews, courses, events, and editing workflows. PREMIUM AND PRIVATE AspectTake is a focused camera with no account, no advertisements, and no subscription. Video processing takes place on your iPhone, and your recordings remain under your control. Buy it once. Record whenever you need it. Supported resolutions, frame rates, camera lenses, flashlight modes, and other capture options depend on the capabilities of your iPhone and the selected recording configuration. ----- Privacy Policy: https://aspecttake.nixmio.com/privacy-policy ToS: https://aspecttake.nixmio.com/terms
