Simple, fast, and easy drawing
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Photographica is an information-focused photo editor that lets you put together a polished, info-rich shot in seconds.
It automatically detects and separates the subjects in your photo into layers, so the popular "text behind the subject" effect is just a tap away (results may vary depending on the photo).
KEY FEATURES
■ Layers you can slip BETWEEN subjects
The app auto-detects what's in your photo and stacks each subject back-to-front. Drop your layer in at any depth you like.
■ A rich set of layer types
• Text — fonts, colors, strokes and rotation, all customizable
• Symbols — insert arrows and basic shapes with a single tap
• Emoji stamps — turn system emoji into stamps as-is
• Freehand drawing — sketch freely with your finger or Apple Pencil
• Image layers — drop in another photo as a stamp
• Speech bubbles — quick and easy comic-style edits
• Map layers — embed a map using GSI, OSM or OTM tiles
• GPX tracks — overlay your hiking or travel route on a map
■ Beautifully formatted shot info
Coordinates, elevation, capture bearing, date — the metadata bound to your photo can be inserted onto the image with refined formatting. Choose your coordinate style (decimal or DMS) and units in detail, and fine-tune the position on a built-in map picker. Edited locations can be written back to EXIF, dramatically improving the accuracy of your hiking and travel records.
■ Photo-level edits
Rotate, crop and resize the underlying photo. Crops support both fixed aspect ratios and free shapes.
■ Styles and filters
Apply filters to individual layers or to the whole photo — from subtle color grading to bold artistic effects.
■ Projects and iCloud sync
Every edit is saved as a project you can revisit any time from a grid-style browser. Projects sync via iCloud Documents, so you can move seamlessly between iPhone and iPad.
■ Export and share
Export to PNG or JPEG, send via the share sheet, or save to Photos with EXIF preserved — ready for social media, print or long-term archives.
