Shoot once, post everywhere. Capture a single photo or video and instantly export it in every format you need: square (1:1), portrait (9:16), landscape (16:9), and Instagram feed (4:5). Smart subject tracking keeps your subject in frame across all crops, powered by on-device ML with options from quick first-frame detection to smooth per-frame tracking. Built for creators who want one take, every ratio, zero hassle. YOUR SUBJECT, ALWAYS IN FRAME Your subject stays perfectly centered in every crop — automatically. For video, choose how closely the camera follows: subtle, moderate, or dynamic tracking, and preview the result in real time before you export. Powered by Apple's Vision framework and on-device ML. CRISP EXPORTS UP TO 8K Get sharp 4K and 8K output from any crop thanks to on-device ML upscaling.
