How it works

From a photo to a print in seven moves.

Free Fall
Template
Saved to Photos
  1. 01

    Pick a poster

    Start from 100+ templates by lensthetic or by the Community. Type, photo treatment, texture and colour are already balanced.

  2. 02

    Drop in your photo

    Tap the photo area and choose from your library. Pinch and drag inside the frame to recrop.

  3. 03

    The subject steps forward

    lensthetic finds the subject on your iPhone, so the letters can sit behind a person, wrap an animal or frame a building.

  4. 04

    Write it your way

    Tap any text and type. Fonts, sizes and line breaks adapt to what you write.

  5. 05

    Turn a dial

    21 looks for the picture, from halftone and riso to glitch and engraving. Keep scrolling: each one has its own dials.

  6. 06

    Change the mood

    Every template comes with palettes picked from real posters. Swap them in a tap, or pull the inks straight from your photo.

  7. 07

    Print it

    Full resolution up to 4000 px, JPEG or PNG, saved to Photos or shared. Every poster you touch stays as a draft.

Start from a poster you'd frame.

    What you see is what you print.

    One engine, preview to print

    The preview and the print come from the same GPU renderer. Zoom into a print and the dots are where you saw them.

    The cut-out happens on your iPhone

    The subject is found on the device. Your photo isn't sent anywhere to be cut.

    Your photos stay yours

    A published template carries stock photos only. Yours never leave your iPhone.

    Five formats

    Feed, story, square, classic and A3 for the print shop.

    Inks from the photo

    One tap pulls a palette out of your picture. Tap again for another mix.

    Beginner or expert

    Easy when you start. Limitless when you're ready.

    Never opened a design app? Pick a template, swap the photo and the words, and you're done. Know your way around layers and effects? Every element, every colour and every setting is yours to change.

    New to design

    It already looks right

    Templates arrive balanced: type, photo treatment, texture and colour already work together. Tap what you want to change and only the right controls come up.

    Design is your thing

    Nothing is locked

    Shadow, glow, outline and 3D, effects on a single element, copies, cut to a shape. Reorder layers, pin the ones you keep editing, reset any change.

    1. The editor with the word HEAT selected on a poster, and a rail to step through the layers under the finger
      01

      Tap to select

      Tap any element, even the smallest caption. A rail on the poster steps through the layers under your finger.

    2. The list of all elements in a poster, each named by its text, with the main word pinned
      02

      Every layer in one list

      All the elements, named by what they say. Pin the ones you come back to.

    3. The settings of a shape: shape, shadow, glow, outline and 3D, effects on the element, copies, cut to a shape
      03

      Every setting, folded away

      Open only what you need. The rest waits one tap away, so the poster stays in view.

    Made for a phone, not squeezed onto one: big targets, one panel at a time, the poster always in sight. A small screen is not a limit.

    Make a template. Someone else prints it.

    • Publish from Studio

      Start from a blank page in five formats, or from any poster. Publishing turns your photos and texts into spaces others fill.

    • Find people by @name

      Search the Community by template, tag or creator. Every card leads to its author's profile.

    • Report and block

      Every template and profile has a menu to report or block. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.

    Questions

    Good to know.

    Is lensthetic free?

    Yes, all of it. There is no premium version and nothing to unlock: every template, look, font and format is available to everyone, with no ads and no watermark on your prints.

    Do I need an account?

    Yes, one free account, made in a few seconds with Apple, Google or email. With it everything is open to you: making and printing posters, the Community, publishing your templates and your profile. You can delete it from Settings at any time.

    Where do my photos go?

    Nowhere. They stay on your iPhone, and so does the cut-out. Published templates only ever show the stock photos that come with the app.

    Can I take a poster to a print shop?

    Yes. Print saves 4000 px on the long side, as JPEG or PNG. That's about 240 dpi on an A3 sheet.

    Is there an Android or web version?

    Not for now: lensthetic is made for iPhone. The posters on this page are drawn by a small web copy of its engine.

    Your next poster starts with a photo.
