PolaroidFrame turns your photos into instant, polaroid-style frames — fully offline, right on your device. ■ Instant polaroid look Pick a photo from your library or take one, and it drops into a classic white frame with the wide bottom margin of a real instant photo. ■ Frames and paper colors Choose from Classic, Square (instax-style), Wide and Rounded frames, and switch the paper color between white, cream, black and pastel to match your mood. ■ Handwritten caption & date stamp Add a note in the bottom margin using one of several handwriting fonts, pick your ink color, and stamp a retro camera-style date (with multiple formats) in the corner. ■ Reframe & film filters Pinch to zoom and drag to reframe the photo inside the border. Add a film-style filter — vintage warm, mono or faded — and give it a slight, playful tilt. ■ Collage mode Arrange 2–4 photos into one polaroid collage: stacked, side by side, a 4-photo grid or a 3-photo film strip. ■ Save & share in high resolution Export a crisp high-resolution PNG and save it to your photos or share it to any app in one tap. ■ Private by design All editing happens on-device. Your photos are never uploaded. No account, no login. Perfect for instax and chèki lovers, Y2K and retro aesthetics, and anyone who wants to keep their memories looking analog.

消すほどじゃない。でも、こんなに重くなくていい。 karukuは、写真を選んで直感的に容量を軽くできるアプリです。「きれいに残す」「ちょうどよく軽く」「できるだけ軽く」から選ぶほか、500KB・1MBなど容量の目安を指定できます。複数の写真もまとめて処理できます。 圧縮版は写真アプリに新しく保存します。通常の圧縮で元写真を自動削除することはありません。「容量を空ける」では、圧縮版の保存を確認した後、ユーザーが削除を選んだ元写真についてiOS標準の確認画面を表示します。削除した写真は「最近削除した項目」に残るため、すぐには空き容量が増えない場合があります。 写真の圧縮は端末内で行い、karuku独自のサーバーへ画像をアップロードしません。容量を小さくするため、画像の縦横サイズ(ピクセル数)が小さくなる場合があります。縦横比は維持します。見た目や削減量は元画像と設定によって変わります。 無料版では一度に10枚までの基本圧縮、基本容量指定、「容量を空ける」が使えます。karuku Proは買い切りです。一度に100枚まで、自由な容量指定、容量範囲指定、詳細な画像サイズ、保存形式の選択、詳細な画質調整が利用できます。価格は購入画面に表示されるApp Storeの価格をご確認ください。
