About

Craftive

Features
Read full description

Some photos bring you right back to the moment you took them. Craftive helps you give those photos a considered finish, with frames, watermarks, collages, photo splitting, and reference-based color matching. It also supports video and Live Photos. Take a little time with a favorite shot or a few everyday snapshots, and make something you'll want to come back to. Frames and watermarks Choose clean white borders, filmstrip edges, photo-paper frames, or gallery-style mounts. Add text watermarks, your camera model, and shooting settings in supported templates to keep your signature and photographic details with the image. Collages and photo splitting Arrange photos in side-by-side layouts or travel collages to bring a series together on one page. Split a single photo into a grid or strips, then save or share each piece as a separate image. Reference-based color matching Use a reference photo as a starting point for the tones and colors of your own image. Or apply a built-in look to explore a more consistent palette across a series. Video and Live Photos Add frames to videos and Live Photos or combine them in collages using compatible templates. Extract still frames from video, turn a short clip into a Live Photo, or convert a Live Photo to video. Save Live Photo creations as Live Photos; sharing to other apps uses video. Creative wallpapers Explore glass textures, grain, pixel-stretch effects, and multiple exposures to create personal wallpapers or stylized images from your photos. Fonts and export Import your own fonts for free to use in supported text areas. Choose from the available export formats and quality settings, then save to Photos or share. Creations successfully saved to Photos also appear in Craftive for easy browsing. Space to create No sign-up, no ads, and no required Craftive watermark.
