PolarGrid vs Kadra

PolarGrid does what photographers keep needing: a clean border around a photo, several photos laid out into one image, and carousels that flow from one post into the next — in full quality, with nothing uploaded anywhere. WHITE BORDER • Adjustable border, in white or any colour • Aspect ratios: Original, 1:1, 4:5, 5:6, 3:4, 9:16 — vertical or horizontal • Crop to fill, or show the whole photo uncropped • Rotate and flip, drag to reposition, pinch to zoom • Batch mode: set it once, export up to 5 photos together (15 with Pro) • Write a line of text under the photo, in the bottom border (Pro) • Export on a 9:16 background — a colour, or the photo itself, sharp or blurred — ready for Stories and Reels (Pro) EDIT AND RETRO • Edit each photo, free: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, saturation, vibrance, temperature and tint • Colour mix by hue, vignette and sharpness, free • Curves and film grain (Pro) • Healing brush: paint over a small distraction and it’s filled in from around it (Pro) • Retro: eleven original film looks with adjustable intensity (Pro) • Press and hold to compare with the original CAROUSEL • A strip of 2 to 5 posts, with photos running across from one post into the next • Layouts built for the number of photos you pick, or place them freely, with a border or an instant-photo frame • Each post exports as its own photo, ready to upload in order — free • Your photo behind the whole carousel, sharp or blurred (Pro) COLLAGE • 2 to 9 photos in one image • Template grids, including creative layouts • Resize cells by dragging their edges; rotate and flip each photo • Free mode: place, resize and rotate each photo by hand • Control outer border and spacing, square or rounded cells PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every photo is processed on your device.
