AspectArc
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Afters is a disposable camera for nights out. Flash always on. Focus fixed. No edits. Shoot tonight, see it tomorrow. THE RULES • Flash fires on every shot — hard light, dark rooms, real faces. • Focus is fixed: Portrait (1 m) or Group (2.5 m). Tap, and it's taken. No hunting, no waiting. • No editing. What you shoot is the photo. Pick a film look and a date stamp before, not after. SIX FILM LOOKS 2AM (direct flash, cool shadows, warm halation), Gold, Mint, Noir, Digicam '04 and Xpro — rendered live in the viewfinder and baked into the photo with grain, halation and bloom. THE ROLL 24 shots per roll. Rolls develop the next morning at 9:00 with a notification — or instantly, your choice. Open the roll and watch the contact sheet develop. MAKE THE DUMP Pick 4–9 shots and export a Story or Post collage with film-strip, contact-sheet or instant frames. Ready for Instagram in one tap. DETAILS THAT MATTER Orange date stamp with three formats. Screen flash for selfies. Timer for group shots. Lock Screen widget with your roll counter. iOS 18 Control to open the camera from Control Center or the Action button. FREE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. Afters is free with light ads: a small banner on your rolls, an optional short video to develop a roll early, and at most one full-screen ad a day. Never on the camera. Your photos stay on your phone until you save them, and Afters never asks for your location. Languages: English, Türkçe, Español, Deutsch, Français, Português, 日本語, 한국어.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Afters at Free against AspectArc's $0.99. AspectArc's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
