Matted: Fit any photo to any frame

Zero cropping, ever

Matted never crops a single pixel. Every part of your original photo is always visible; padding fills the frame instead.

Beautiful backgrounds

Choose solid white or black, palette colours pulled automatically from your photo, a blurred backdrop, or a mesh gradient, all generated on-device.

Built with care

Matted is a one-person app built in South Africa. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Photos never leave your device. The tip jar is optional and unlocks nothing; the app is complete as-is.

Your photos stay on your device

All processing happens locally. Matted has no servers, collects no data, and never transmits your photos anywhere.
