PicLoom brings photo editing, collages, long screenshots and animated creations together. Media is processed on your device, with no account registration or ads. PHOTOS: Crop, draw, add text, mosaic and watermarks; adjust light, color and portraits. Create pixel effects, template collages and free-form unlimited collages. LONG SCREENSHOTS: Stitch scrolling recordings, preview and adjust seams, then export. Steady scrolling in one direction works best. MOTION: Make GIFs from videos or Live Photos, combine Live Photos, or create a new Live Photo from an image and a video. Portrait detection depends on pose, visibility and lighting. Strong reshaping can affect nearby backgrounds. Portrait adjustments apply to still images. GIFs have no audio. Pay once to download from the App Store, then use all tools. Existing users also get full access after updating. Export images, GIFs and Live Photos without daily limits or added app branding. You can still add your own watermarks.
