Kakou Photo Frame

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. Select a photo or video from your library and you're in the editor. Adjust frame color, border, and aspect ratio with a live preview — the same workflow for stills and motion. ◆ Frame your videos, the same way. Up to 60 seconds, with simple trim and mute, exported as a framed MP4 — share it straight from the export sheet. ◆ Color is part of the work. Eleven traditional Japanese colors — sumi ink, washi white, shu vermilion, ai indigo, and more. A custom color picker for anything else. Set the inner border and background independently. ◆ Five border styles — solid, double, film rebate, washi edge, mat V-cut. 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, Light or Deep via the Texture control. Mat V-cut blends the matte border with the background color like a museum-style mat, its surface carrying a paper grain, added automatically. Round the photo corners for a softer feel. ◆ Save your look. Reuse it instantly. Save any combination of frame color, border style, and text settings as a preset. Presets show as thumbnails — see each look 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. Tap "ⓘ How to choose a ratio" for a quiet info-only guide — each ratio drawn at its true shape, so you can pick by shape. ◆ EXIF gear info, captured or typed. Add a title, or include the camera, lens, and film you used. Gear info reads from EXIF automatically, or enter manually — the gear library keeps frequent gear one tap away. GPS coordinates can be pulled into the title. Adjust text size, weight, and letter spacing to fit the frame. ◆ The photo is the subject. Gear is optional. The preview keeps the photo front and center. Gear info is off by default — turn it on when you want to share what you shot with. Both approaches feel at home. ◆ Hang it on a real wall, before you commit. Preview your framed photo on your actual walls through the iPhone camera. Check how it sits in your room. 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 - 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 (with flip support, including 9:16) - Border style: all + texture aging - Photo shape: rounded corners - Text: title + gear info + film name - Text decoration: size, weight, letter spacing - 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.
