Pearblossom: Photo Grids
Guided grid photo capture
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Pearblossom turns your camera into a compositional instrument.
Choose a grid size. Shoot one cell at a time. Watch a single image emerge from many moments.
Pearblossom is a capture-first photography tool. You compose as you shoot, deciding what to focus on, how much to include, and in what order each part of the image comes together.
Each cell is photographed through a square viewfinder. As you fill the grid, edge previews of adjacent shots appear along the borders of the live camera, helping you carry lines, textures, colors, and subjects naturally across the frame. When every cell is captured, Pearblossom composites them into a single image and saves it to your Photos library.
The result is a photograph shaped by time, movement, and attention. It is a composition that unfolds one moment at a time.
New: Video mode. Build the same kind of composition from short clips instead of stills. Capture each cell as a few seconds of motion, up to a 4×4 grid, then watch all the pieces play back together as one.
How it works:
Pick Photo or Video mode
Choose your grid size, up to 8×8 for photos or 4×4 for video
Tap any cell to capture it, in any order
Retake any shot before you finish
Save the completed composition to Photos
Everything happens on your device. Your compositions stay with you, with no account or cloud storage required. Just your camera and the composition you create.
Added a version indicator and made video export 4 loops of the 5 second video, making exports 20 seconds instead of 5. Allows for longer audio clips when sharing via social media.
