Kakou Photo Frame

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.
