Choose the Camera caption and Easy Matte pulls the body, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO from the photo and prints them under the image. Shooting film or a camera without metadata? Type them in.

Five gallery typefaces

Sans, Serif, Mono, Typewriter and Didot. Each one is a live preview in the picker, so you see the caption before you commit to it.

Every ratio you post to

Original, square, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16 or type your own. Pinch and drag to place the photo inside the frame.

Or just say where you were

A one-line caption, the way a print is labeled on a gallery wall. Type it once and change the typeface as often as you like.

Private by design

The picker you see is Apple's, not the app's. Easy Matte never asks for access to your whole library, it only receives the one photo you choose, and it asks for permission just to add the finished image back. Nothing leaves your phone. There are no accounts, no analytics and no network calls.

Read the privacy policy

Apple's photo picker with its notice: your photo library is shown here, but Easy Matte can only access the items you select

Made by one photographer, for the rest of us

A border app that does not spray watermarks, sell subscriptions or ask to see every photo on your phone.
