Choose a layout for 2 images or 3 images, and apply rounded corners. There is an infinite number of combinations. Create your special photo with PhotoFrame. PhotoFrame is a photo frame app that allows you to bring your photos in the iOS photo albums together. - Frames Select any of the frame shapes from a wide collection, then apply color and rounded corners to create your own unique photo frame. - Sizes Select different sizes from the printout size to the wallpaper size according to your needs. The following sizes are available: DSC, L, postcard (Japanese size), HV, KG, square, 16:9, 4:3 and 3:2. - Video You can create collages using not only photos, but also videos. Place videos in your layout just like photos, and export expressive collages with motion. Capture your favorite moments in a richer, more vivid way than still images alone can offer. About the video feature: - You can place up to 6 videos in a single layout. - Exported videos are limited to a maximum length of 15 seconds. - Videos longer than 15 seconds will be exported using only the first 15 seconds. - Videos shorter than 15 seconds will loop as needed during export. - Adjust the printable area It's quite common to hear that even though you set the photo dimensions to fit the frame size, when you print the picture at shop, the edges of the frame may get cut off since they will be printed a few millimeters inside. PhotoFrame enables you to adjust the outline of the frame without cutting anything off for the final print. - Add text captions You can easily add any text or date stamps to your photo. (Please note that text won't be saved to your Favorites. The text will be removed when you quit the app.) - Favorites Save the frames you created to your Favorites. 【Supported OS】 iOS 12 or later 【Supported devices】 iPhone 6sPlus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 5s Please note that this app has not been tested for compatibility with other devices except those listed above. 【Disclaimer】 While we try our best, we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of this application such as bugs or errors.

Your trip photos, ready to post. Map, dates, and distance—added automatically. Trip photos tend to pile up in your camera roll. Where you took them, how you got around—the story of the trip doesn't come through in photos alone. With MapFrame, you just pick the photos. It reads where and when they were taken and turns them into a share-ready travel card with a map and route lines. ■ Pick photos, get a travel card Choose up to 12 trip photos. MapFrame reads the capture location and time, then builds a 4:5 card with a mini map, route lines, city names, dates, and total distance. ■ A 15-second reel from the same photos Export a vertical 9:16 reel, too. Your photos and the map move gracefully, following the template. ■ Routes are inferred automatically Walking, driving, trains, flights, and ferries are detected from distance and speed. Flight and ferry legs curve gently across the map. ■ Fix anything afterwards Rename places, reorder stops, change transport modes, pick from 6 route-line colors, toggle dates and distance, and zoom or reposition the main photo. ■ 15 templates to match the mood Journal, Glass, and Ticket are among the 5 free basics. Pro unlocks Film, Magazine, Minimal, Midnight, Sakura, Summer, Wrapped, and more. ■ Processed entirely on your device MapFrame never asks for photo library read permission—it only receives the photos you pick and builds your card on the device. Your photos are never sent to our servers. No ads, no tracking. — Made for — • People who post trip, outing, and event photos to social media • Anyone who wants "where it was taken" to be part of the story • Keeping travel memories in a form you'll want to revisit • Anyone careful about how their photos and location data are handled — Pricing — Free to download, with 3 free exports every month (5 basic templates). MapFrame Pro unlocks unlimited exports, no watermark, and all 15 templates. $3.99/month, $29.99/year ($2.49 per month), or a $69.99 one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Travel memories belong with a map.
