Gridlai makes beautiful photo grids on your iPhone — simply, and privately. Pick 4 to 12 photos and Gridlai arranges them into a clean grid, ready to save and share. Everything happens on your device: no accounts, no uploads, no data collected. AI AUTO-ARRANGE — 100% ON YOUR DEVICE One tap and Gridlai arranges your photos and frames each one toward its subject, so faces stay centered and nothing important gets cropped out — then leaves every photo fully adjustable, so you can pan and zoom to fine-tune the framing. The AI runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's on-device Vision technology — your photos are never uploaded, never sent to a server, never seen by anyone but you. FEATURES • Smart auto-arrange with on-device face & subject framing — and fully adjustable after • Classic white Polaroid frame, with your caption in the frame • Layouts from 1×3 strips to a 3×4 grid • Square (1:1) and portrait (4:5) export • Pinch to zoom, drag to reposition, tap to swap any photo • Adjustable grid lines and an optional caption • One tap to save the finished grid to Photos PRIVATE BY DESIGN Gridlai has no accounts and makes no network connections at all. Your photos are used only on your device to build the grid and save it back to your library. We collect nothing. Made by AIConcepts.Studio.
