Uma gravação. Dois arquivos. O Dual Frame grava o enquadramento vertical 9:16 e o horizontal 16:9 ao mesmo tempo, e entrega dois arquivos independentes e sincronizados. Não é um corte feito depois: os dois nascem da mesma tomada, do mesmo áudio e da mesma linha do tempo. DUAS LENTES DE VERDADE No modo de duas lentes, a câmera principal grava o vertical e a ultra wide grava o horizontal — dois ângulos reais, ao mesmo tempo. A coluna ao lado do preview vertical troca a lente dele, de 1× a 8×, sem mexer no horizontal. UMA LENTE, ÁREA MÁXIMA DE SENSOR No modo de lente única, o app ativa o formato de maior área útil que a câmera oferece e recorta na GPU, em tempo real. Partindo do 4:3 de sensor cheio, o vertical sai bem maior do que sairia de um 4K 16:9 convencional. O APP NÃO ESCONDE NÚMERO Cada formato mostra a resolução real que vai para cada arquivo, o ângulo de visão, a taxa de quadros e se ele estabiliza. Nada de alta, média e baixa. Se uma resolução não está na lista, é porque o seu iPhone não a oferece. TAMBÉM TEM • Foto durante a gravação, no mesmo enquadramento, sem interromper os arquivos • Apple Log quando o formato oferece, com conversor para Rec.709 embutido • Escolha de estabilização, sabendo quanto cada modo recorta • HEVC ou H.264, MOV ou MP4 • Toque para focar e expor, arraste para ajustar o brilho • Galeria com filtro por formato • Salvar na biblioteca de Fotos, na pasta do app, ou nos dois PRIVACIDADE O app não coleta nada. Não tem servidor, não faz conexão de rede, não usa análise nem publicidade. Tudo o que ele produz fica no seu iPhone. REQUISITOS iOS 17.2 ou mais recente. O modo de duas lentes exige um iPhone com suporte a MultiCam; em aparelhos sem esse suporte, o app funciona em lente única.

Video too big to attach to an email or submit through an upload form? Snug shrinks it to fit. Every messenger, email service, and upload form has its own size limit, so you choose the size you need first, and Snug makes your video fit under it. Choose your size Set a size with the slider, or save the sizes you use most and pick one in a tap. Before you start, Snug shows the expected quality and file size, and lets you know if quality is likely to drop noticeably. Fits under your limit If a result comes out a little too big, Snug adjusts and tries again on its own. 1 MB counts as 1,000,000 bytes, so your video stays within the limits apps use. Your original stays untouched Shrunk videos are saved to Photos as new items, or to a folder you choose. Your original is never overwritten, and the capture date carries over so the new video sits right next to it. Fast and private Snug uses your device’s hardware HEVC encoder, and your videos never leave your device. On iOS 26 or later, shrinking keeps going even if you switch apps. Right from the share sheet Share a video from Photos, choose Snug, and shrink it right there without opening the app. Careful with HDR and sound HDR videos stay HDR with HEVC, and audio is re-encoded only when needed. H.264 is there for older devices. Launch offer: download Snug by November 8, 2026 and it stays free for you for life. No account, no ads, no tracking.
