Turn any photo into a beautiful shot card โ camera, lens and settings displayed in an elegant frame. Pick a photo, swipe through finished styles, share. Three taps. No settings to learn. No sliders to figure out. WHY SHOTCARD Most EXIF frame apps hand you a control panel. Sliders for opacity, spacing, shadow radius. Menus inside menus. You came to share a photo and ended up learning software. Shotcard does the opposite. Every style is finished the moment you tap it โ designed, not configured. And you see each one on YOUR photo, instantly, not on someone else's sample image. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app - pick your image 2. Swipe through styles to see each one on your own shot 3. Tap Export That's it. Under ten seconds from open to share. WHAT YOU GET - Automatic EXIF: camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter, ISO and date, pulled from your photo the moment you open it - Live preview on your photo. Every style rendered on your actual image, not a stock sample. Compare styles, not photographs. - Full-resolution export, always โ your 48MP shot exports at 48MP. No resolution picker, no quality slider, no "export may fail" warnings. It just works. - Show only what you want โ hide ISO, hide the date, hide anything. Or type your own values by hand. - Film Mode โ shooting analog? Film cameras record no EXIF, so enter your camera, lens and film stock manually. Built for photographers every other app forgets. - Depth of field tools โ hyperfocal distance and DoF for your exact camera and lens, right where you need them. - Works completely offline โ no account, no upload, no server. Your photos never leave your phone. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS AND PHONE SHOOTERS ALIKE Whether you shoot a Fujifilm X-T5, a Sony a7, a Leica, a film SLR or the phone in your hand โ Shotcard reads what your camera recorded and frames it properly. Perfect for the "shot on" convention, gear posts, portfolio grids, film scans and anyone who wants their photo to look considered. FREE AND PREMIUM Several styles and full-resolution export are included from the start. Premium adds: โข Every style, plus new packs as they ship โข Batch export โข Custom colours and fonts โข Field presets Questions or a style you'd like to see? support@denwee.com Terms: https://denwee.com/app/shotcard/terms Privacy: https://denwee.com/app/shotcard/privacy

Put your camera settings on a clean EXIF frame, or see and remove a photo's metadata (location, camera, serial numbers), on your iPhone or iPad with nothing uploaded. Previewing frames and viewing metadata are free; a one-time purchase unlocks saving and sharing. Add a clean frame to your photo with the camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO โ read from the photo's own camera data (EXIF), right on your iPhone or iPad. Shotspec opens the ORIGINAL file, so the details your camera recorded are really there: pick a photo from your library or open a camera file from Files (JPG, HEIC, DNG and the camera RAW formats iOS can open). The frame is added AROUND the photo โ your picture is never covered or cropped. โข FIVE LAYOUTS โ Bar (camera and lens on the left, settings on the right), Instant (a deep bottom border with a centred caption), Gallery (a thin even border with a small spaced caption), Minimal (one quiet line) and Film (a dark border with edge-print type and your own film-stock line). โข YOUR STYLE โ white, cream, gray, charcoal or black frames; automatic, dark, gray, white or amber text; light, regular or bold type; a border-size slider. โข SOCIAL SHAPES โ keep the original shape or reach 4:5, 1:1 or 9:16 by adding border, never by cropping. โข PHOTOGRAPHER'S NOTATION โ f/1.8, 1/250 s, 0.5 s, 30 s, ISO 400, 35 mm and the 35 mm equivalent for phones and crop sensors. Duplicated or corporate camera names are tidied. โข FILL IN THE GAPS โ anything the file doesn't carry stays hidden (never "0 mm"), and you can type your own camera, lens or settings, plus a custom line for a place, a film stock or your name. Show or hide the date taken. โข KEEPS THE FILE โ the saved photo is full resolution, keeps its camera data and color (sRGB or Display P3), and you choose whether its location data stays. JPG or HEIC. โข SEE AND REMOVE METADATA โ see every field a photo carries (location, camera and lens, serial numbers, dates, software, author) and save copies without it: everything, or only the location. One photo or a whole batch; your originals are never changed. โข PRIVATE โ everything happens on your device. No account, no upload. Camera names are written as text; no camera-maker logos are added. A photo with no camera data (a screenshot, an edited copy) shows empty fields until you type the values. Picking a photo, previewing every layout and option, and seeing a photo's metadata are free. A one-time purchase unlocks saving and sharing framed photos and clean copies. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shotspec at every 2 weeks against EXIF Frame Editor's monthly. EXIF Frame Editor's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
