Photo framing for iPhone & iPad

Every photo, framed with its story.

Cartouche wraps your shot in a clean, gallery-style frame and stamps in the camera and settings it was taken with — then exports at full resolution, ready to share or print.

What you get

A darkroom for the details.

Everything is built to make an ordinary photo look considered — and to keep the craft behind it visible.

Automatic EXIF stamping

Camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter, ISO and date — read straight from your shot and set into the frame.

Eight frame themes

From a clean minimal border to a classic mat, a film strip, and a bold poster overlay — a look for every photo.

Tune every detail

Dial in the border width, pick any background color, and add a real, soft drop shadow that lifts the photo off the mat.

Sized for sharing

Export at 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, 3:2 or the original — your photo is letter-boxed in the mat color, never cropped.

Full-resolution export

Save as HEIC or JPEG at the photo's true size. A 24-megapixel shot exports at 24 megapixels — never downscaled.

Your own library

Every frame you make is saved on device. Reopen any creation to keep editing — your work is always there.

The story in the metadata

Every shot, with the
story behind it.

Cartouche reads the EXIF data your camera or iPhone already wrote into the file and turns it into a clean caption — the gear, the settings, the moment. Add your @handle and it signs the frame, too.

Camera, lens & focal length — pulled automatically.
Aperture, shutter speed, ISO and the date it was taken.
Toggle the exposure line on or off, and add your own handle.
