Turn photos into color cards · New Editorial poster magazine layout · Limited-time: share to earn free Pro
ColorWander turns the photos you already love into color cards — share-ready compositions of dominant hues, thoughtful typography, and quiet details that let each photo speak in its own palette.
CLASSIC LAYOUT — FREE FOREVER
Pick a photo. ColorWander extracts its dominant color, places it next to your image, and adds a clean caption of where & when you took it. Export to your camera roll or share directly.
NEW IN 1.1.4 — EDITORIAL POSTER
A magazine-style layout that frames your photo inside a colored border with a bold city/time caption styled large at the top. Free to use; Pro users can remove the export watermark.
GALLERY & RE-EDIT
Save your cards locally. Open any past card from the Gallery to revisit, reframe, or restyle — your photo position, zoom, and layout pick are all preserved. Saving updates the existing card, no duplicates.
PRO ACCESS
Unlock more layouts and higher-quality exports with Monthly or Yearly Pro subscriptions, both with a 1-week free trial, or choose Lifetime with a one-time purchase.
PRO LAYOUTS & STYLES
- Polaroid, Polaroid Legacy, Window, Film, Tape, Stamp, ColorStory, Palette Bands, and more — 16 layouts beyond Classic and Editorial poster
- Glass Palette: frosted color chips floating over your photo (currently free for a limited time)
- Photo-aware gradients drawn from an 80-gradient library, with universal angle control across all 4 directions (top, bottom, left, right)
- Real scanned-film grain texture with intensity slider
- Refined export styles
LIVE PHOTO EXPORT — FREE FOR EVERYONE
Export animated Live Photo cards. When long-pressed in Apple Photos, the card comes alive while keeping the designed color-card frame, original audio, and the same crop you set in the editor.
LITERARY CAPTIONS
1,900+ curated Chinese & English literary quotes matched to your photo's capture time. English quotes come from pre-1929 public-domain literature; Chinese quotes include modern and classical writers.
EXPORT QUALITY
- Free: 2K JPEG
- Pro 4K: 3840px JPEG
- Pro Lossless: PNG up to 6144px
7 LANGUAGES, IN-APP SWITCH
English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish — fully localized. Switch the in-app language anytime in Settings → Language; the change reflects across editor labels, export status messages, layout names, alert dialogs, and even the web content opened from inside the app.
EVERYTHING LOCAL
No accounts, no tracking SDKs, no cloud. Photos are processed entirely on-device. The only off-device requests are reverse-geocoding lookups for the city name in your caption.

Ratings & Reviews
v1.1.4 — Polish for the last release. Editorial poster gets a literary 3-row layout, Gallery re-edit keeps more of what you saved, and a new Live Photo diagnostic for when things go wrong.
NEW
• Editorial poster + literary mode — quote, location, and author stack as a clean 3-row layout (the photo shifts down to make room)
IMPROVED
• Editorial poster default font tuned for every ratio — landscape no longer crowds the photo
• Gallery re-edit keeps emoji, literary quote, location, and time exactly as saved
FIXED
• Pro "remove watermark" actually applies on Editorial poster — preview, export, and Live Photo overlay all respect the toggle
• v1.1.3 upgrade users now receive the What's New sheet — if you missed the Hesse passage, it's still waiting for you
