Zebra - a photo and video editor for bloggers: text on photos, AI background and object removal, film filters and effects. Create content for Stories, Reels, and TikTok in a minute ◕‿◕
I built Zebra for my wife (@VrednayaModa) to make her blogger life easier - and I hope you'll find it useful too.
What's inside?
• Text on photos and text drawing
The heart of Zebra. Trendy text effects in a minute:
- add YOUR OWN fonts and stickers - write with your own fonts, not just standard ones
- text along a curve, spiral, waves, rows, or rays
- 3D text tilt and layer editing
- alignment, letter and line spacing
- highlight words: marker, underline, background fill
- text BEHIND objects: wraps around a person or object (the background is cut out on your device, no internet needed)
- draw with a brush: regular, neon glow, glitter, and emoji
• Seamless carousels
A hot format for Stories and posts. Slice a photo or video so the image continues seamlessly as you swipe - your feed looks like one canvas
- ready-made templates: pick a grid of 2, 3, or more frames, add shots, done in one tap
- manual mode: cut and arrange frames yourself
• Photo and video effects
Dark - a "blogger" darkening of the whole photo or a chosen area (like the bottom) so text stays readable
Grain - a cinematic film effect that makes a shot feel alive
One-tap Blur - 12 variations: from simple to motion and wet glass. Focus blur for a soft accent, background blur, and blur only the areas you want
• Collages
Build collages from photos and videos:
- a huge library of ready-made grids for every taste: pick one, add shots, done in one tap
- manual mode: move, scale, and arrange frames however you like
- add text and captions on the collage
• High-quality background removal
- works on your device, no internet and no uploading to a server
- automatic or manual, pixel-perfect precision
- lots of trendy outlines: a colored stroke of any thickness to make your subject pop
- fast export with a result that matches the preview exactly
• AI object removal
Remove unwanted people and objects - fast and clean, with no traces
There's an on-device mode too - remove things fast without internet
• AI styling
Turn an ordinary photo into art: Ghibli style, anime, oil paint, sketch, and more. Upload a shot and AI repaints it in your chosen style in seconds
Make profile pics, covers, and creatives no one else has
• Stickers
Hundreds of original stickers in ready-made packs - from trendy ones to arrows and captions. The most popular stay on top
Question Sticker, Alert Sticker, Calendar Sticker - beautiful and customizable
• Filters
Film LUT presets inspired by Kodak, Fuji, and Polaroid
Original filters from bloggers
Full-screen mode - swipe through filters like Reels and pick the best
Video filters
• DuoCam
Shoot video in two formats in one take - horizontal for YouTube and vertical for Reels and Stories at once. Shoot once, get both
Exposure control by swiping across the frame
• Unicode fonts
Stylish fonts for your profile bio, comments, and any app
• Watermark
Protect your photos from theft:
- your own text or logo, with adjustable opacity, size, and position
- mosaic mode: tile the mark across the whole photo, like news outlets do - impossible to crop out
More tools: video speed, video compression, text from video, finding large videos, Zip archive, QR code, mask shapes, rounded corners, boomerang, and before/after video.
That's all for now, but only for now. I keep developing the app and adding new features. Stay tuned!

Overall this is a phenomenal free editing app! I get a lot of compliments on my posts from the editing I do on this app. My only wish is that manipulating things on the screen like stickers, text, etc. was a little smoother and then that it would automatically save everything upon closing out. However, the creator is constantly working hard to improve the app and consistently fixing bugs/adding new features. If you’re looking for a comprehensive editing app for pictures and videos, I highly recommend Zebra!

Was Amazing - now it’s the same as everything else..

This app does have a lot of really cool, well designed, and easy to use features.. I particularly enjoyed the BG removal feature because it works better than others. Honestly it’s the only reason I used this app. Before: to access each feature, you were asked to share with one person… not only was that a very fair ask, but considering the quality, usefulness, and value given to the user, I would have had a hard time Not sharing this app with others. But much like everything else these days.. promised one thing then delivered another. It was a bait and switch; now in order to use the instant BG remover feature you have to pay $35/yr. That’s simply too much money for the one feature I’m interested in using. Personally, I’d rather upload to my computer and remove background there. If the ongoing cost doesn’t bother you or if you use several of the features offered, this could be a good deal for you.. it just doesn’t make financial sense for me at this time- so I uninstalled.

I found out about this app from a blogger and I’m amazed by how quick and easy you can make everything look cute. If you have an insta blog - there is a bunch of helpful tools + proper explanation on how things work! Excited to see what else Dima will add there. I will recommend the app on my blog as well!

Most of all I use it for Darken bottom feature. But there is a lot of perfect options that you will not find in other apps. The idea of some functions is genius and the performance is ideal. Thank you developers!

Hi! Zebra’s big fall update is here ◕‿◕
First, I fixed a ton of bugs and crashes on iOS 27. I went through every tool: saving and exporting, dark mode, and how things behave when your phone is low on memory or storage
There’s a new tool, Mini Vlog. You shoot short clips (1–3 sec) throughout the day, and Zebra puts them together into one video. You can add the time, place, weather, and step count to your clips, plus text with an entrance animation, photos, and stickers
I’m launching AI video. Pick a template, add a photo, and get a short video, like you riding your giant cat. While the video is being made, you can close Zebra: I’ll send a push notification when it’s ready. I’m rolling it out gradually, and it’ll be available to everyone soon
I added 7 new handwritten fonts. I also sorted the fonts into categories, added “Popular” and “New” sections, and added favorites: press and hold a font to add it to your favorites. It works in “Text on Photo,” collages, and carousels
“Text on Photo” now has blurred text, the shadow is stronger, and you can change the font with one button right above the layer
Story series are here, for when you want to tell a story across several stories in a row. Select all your photos at once, and Zebra creates a separate story for each one in the order you picked them. You can leave a note on each one about what to say in it, so you don’t forget your idea. Design the stories one by one, and when everything’s ready, save the whole series to your gallery with one tap, without opening each one separately. You can also duplicate a series along with its notes and make a new one from it
I added a bunch of new story templates
Filters are now sorted into groups, with a “New” section and favorites. Carousels got new effects: blur, darkening, bottom shadow, and grain
I built my own photo crop tool: you can drag any edge, choose proportions like wallpaper, YouTube, 3:2, or 21:9, rotate, flip, and undo a step. I rewrote the “Before/After” tool from scratch: live preview, smooth 60 frames per second, and 7 divider colors
There are now widgets with quick tools on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. You choose the tools in “Settings” → “Widgets”, and it’s handy to put the Mini Vlog tool there
And a few smaller things: blur now has undo and redo, collages let you adjust the spacing between letters and lines, the Share menu is more convenient, and videos can get darkening, blur, and grain with a live preview. “Memories” got zoom and video scrubbing, and AI styles got a “Popular” section
P.S. As always, thank you for your feedback — I read every message, and it really means a lot to me)
P.P.S. You can now reach me through the new feedback form in “Settings”: choose a topic and attach a screenshot or video if you need to. I’m always open to your ideas and suggestions ◕‿◕
