Dottelier: Photo Layout Maker
Cutout, collage & wallpaper
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fourteen styles, sixteen layouts and on-device cutout. Bring in up to nine photos, pick a look, and export at 2K, 4K, 6K, wallpaper size or as a Live Photo.
Dottelier turns a photo into a finished piece — a card, a poster, a colour study.
Bring in a photo. Dottelier reads it on your device, proposes a style, a layout and a ratio, then hands you the controls.
FOURTEEN STYLES
Motion, Kinetic Poster, Camera, CCD, Big Type, Postcard, Editorial, Journal, Sky Notes, Glow Grid, Palette, Lenses, Spectrum and Protect.
LAYOUT
• 16 layouts, from a single frame to an adaptive grid.
• 6 canvas ratios: 1:1, 3:4, 4:5, 9:16, 4:3 and 16:9.
• Up to 9 photos in one piece, reorderable and individually recropped.
CUTOUT, ON YOUR DEVICE
• Add Cutout lifts the subject out of a photo. Remove Background and Extract as New Layer do the rest.
• All of it runs through Apple's own Vision framework. Your photos never leave the device.
• When no clear subject is found, your original photo is left untouched and Dottelier tells you so, rather than quietly handing you a bad mask.
TEXT AND COLOUR
• A title and subtitle on every style, in four typefaces: Sans, Rounded, Serif and Mono.
• Colours are pulled from your own photo and laid out as a palette you can drag and resize, each swatch showing its hex value and share of the image.
• Canvas Vignette and Background Blur, plus per-layer Blur, Shadow and Vignette.
EXPORT
• 2K (2048 px), 4K (4096 px) and 6K (6000 px) on the long edge.
• Wallpaper, rendered at your device's exact screen resolution so nothing is upscaled.
• Live Photo, saved straight to Photos.
• GIF from the Palette and Lenses styles; video whenever the piece has motion.
• Exports are freshly drawn pixels — no EXIF or GPS travels from your source photos.
PRIVACY IS THE DEFAULT
• Dottelier makes no network requests of any kind. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDK.
• Your work is stored in the app's own folder on your device.
• The Protect style and the Privacy Brush let you paint and erase a mosaic by hand over anything you'd rather not show.
ALSO
• Start in the Photos app: select up to 12 photos and create with Dottelier straight away.
• Ask Siri to start a new piece in Dottelier.
• A works library with grid and list views, renaming, duplicating, search, and Recently Deleted with restore.
• iPhone and iPad. Requires iOS 17 or later.
Dottelier Pro unlocks every style, animated export, and exports without the watermark. Four styles — Motion, Big Type, Palette and Protect — are free, and everything you have already made stays yours and stays editable.
