Matted vs Borderz

Matted fits any photo into any frame, without cropping a single pixel. Instagram now shows your grid at 4:5. TikTok, LinkedIn and every other platform want their own shapes too. Instead of cutting your photo down to fit, Matted pads it with a beautiful background, a mat, so the whole image always survives. WHY MATTED • Nothing gets cropped, ever. The full image is always preserved. • One-tap aspect ratios: square, 4:5 portrait, landscape, story, banner and more • A built-in size catalogue covering 105 placements across 20 platforms, feeds, grids, covers, banners, thumbnails, with up-to-date pixel dimensions • Adjustable border to give your photo room to breathe • Rounded corners, two ways: soften the photo's corners, round the mat itself, or both BACKGROUNDS THAT LOOK INTENTIONAL • Soft blur drawn from the photo itself, the classic blurred-background look, no second app needed • Clean white or black mats • Any custom colour you like • Colour mix: generated mesh gradients in twelve palettes, with endless shuffles, every one unique to your photo MAKE IT YOURS • Lift the subject off its background on device and drop it onto a mat • Add a small signature or brand mark to sign your work • Frame a photo hands free with Shortcuts and Siri PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything happens on your iPhone, photos never leave your device • No account. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. • Full-resolution export, saved straight to your photo library • HEIC or JPEG output, switches to PNG automatically when you round the mat's corners, so transparency is preserved Matted is built by one person, with a healthy assist from AI tools. There is a tip jar inside if the app saves you time. It unlocks nothing, because everything is already included. Frame it. Do not crop it. Matted.

Borderz puts a clean, adjustable border around your photos — one at a time, or a whole trip at once. A photo in a frame reads differently than a photo on its own. A mat or border isn't decoration; it's what turns an image into something you stop and look at. Borderz brings that idea to the photos in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick one photo, or up to 50. No setup, no account. 2. Frame them. Choose Square or Original, drag the border width, pick a color, and add a caption. The preview updates instantly. 3. Share.
