v3.3 "Title" — Choose where the title and gear info sit: above the photo, split top and bottom, or Bottom Wide. Plus Sides, rotated sideways, and a museum-style Caption. Frame a single photo or video. Make it a work. Kakou is a photo framing app from Japan — shaped by washi texture, traditional color, and the quiet craft of "飾る" (kazaru, "to frame"). Pick a photo or video, pick a color, frame it. Done in three taps. --- ◆ Start framing the moment you pick. Pick a photo or video and you're in the editor. Frame color, border, and ratio adjust with a live preview — the same workflow for stills and motion. ◆ Frame your videos, the same way. Up to 60 seconds, with trim and mute, exported as a framed MP4. ◆ Color is part of the work. Eleven traditional Japanese colors — sumi ink, shu vermilion, ai indigo, and more. A custom picker for anything else. Inner border and background set independently. ◆ Six border styles — solid, double, film rebate, washi edge, mat V-cut, glass. The washi edge mimics the torn fibrous edge of Japanese handmade paper — procedurally generated, every export unique. The film rebate border can carry the frayed fade of a darkroom print. Mat V-cut blends the mat into the background color, with a paper grain added automatically. Glass floats a thin plate in front of the photo, light bending at its edges, in three Clarity levels. Round the photo corners for a softer feel. ◆ Save your look. Reuse it instantly. Save any look as a preset. Presets show as thumbnails — see each before applying. One tap next time. ◆ The right ratio for every platform. 1:1 for LINE and X. 4:5 for Instagram feed. 9:16 for Reels, Stories, Shorts, and TikTok. 16:9 for YouTube. 1.91:1 for note. An info-only guide draws each ratio at its true shape, so you can pick by shape. ◆ EXIF gear info, captured or typed. Add a title, or the camera, lens, and film you used. Gear info reads from EXIF, or type it — the gear library keeps frequent gear one tap away. GPS coordinates can go into the title. Adjust size, weight, and letter spacing. Choose where the text sits: above, below, split, or Bottom Wide — rotated to the sides, or on a small museum-style caption plate. ◆ The photo is the subject. Gear is optional. Gear info is off by default — turn it on when you want to share what you shot with. Saved images keep the original EXIF (date, camera, lens); location is off by default, opt-in from Settings. ◆ Hang it on a real wall, before you commit. Preview your framed photo on your actual wall through the iPhone camera. AR preview requires a LiDAR Scanner (iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro / Pro Max models, iPad Pro 2020 or later). On other devices, the AR button is hidden. --- ◇ Free features - Frame color: all 11 traditional Japanese color presets - Aspect ratio: 1:1 - Border style: solid - Text: title + vertical placement (4 options) - Padding: 0–20% / text-gap 0–6% - SNS ratio guide sheet: info-only - Preset save: up to 2 - Gear library: cameras, lenses, films - Share Extension: import from Photos - Photo export: unlimited - Video framing: 1 free trial export - AR wall preview: free during trial (LiDAR only) ◇ Kakou 飾 (Kazari, one-time purchase) unlocks - Frame color: all presets + custom color picker - Aspect ratio: all (including 9:16) - Border style: all six + texture aging and Clarity - Photo shape: rounded corners - Text: title + gear info + film name - Text decoration: size, weight, letter spacing - Text placement: Sides + Caption plate (photos only) - Export resolution: original pixel count - Preset save: unlimited - Video framing: unlimited (up to 60 seconds, trim, mute, cover frame) - AR wall preview: continued use after trial (LiDAR only) - All future updates included Photo exports using premium features: 5 free trials total.

v3.3 "Title" Text placement: Choose where the title and gear info sit. Place them above the photo with Above, split them top and bottom with Split, or give the bottom margin more room with Bottom Wide. Sides: The title runs down the left edge and gear info down the right, rotated sideways. Photo first, text at the edges. (Kazari) Caption: A small plate below the photo carries the title and gear info together, like a museum label. (Kazari) Minor refinements and bug fixes.
